(FIXED) Discord crashing when manually typing emoji's

Hi there. So, ever since yesterday, whenever I manually type an emoji my discord just crashes. For example, if I were to type ":woah:". As soon as I type that last ":" (colon) my discord shuts down and closes. When I reopen discord back up, and I go back to the chat, my text will be left off with ":woah" and it won't have the colon. Again, if I put that last colon there to complete the emoji, then it just crashes. I haven't done anything to my discord, and yes I've kept it up to date. I'm not sure at all why this is happening, any help would be appreciated.

Edit: It seems I can't use emoji's at all. Whenever I do it just straight up crashes my discord. Also, I'm on a windows computer.

Edit: So I've restarted my computer and even though my discord didn't have the green arrow at the top right to indicate it needed to update, it had to install 5 updates. After it has now properly updated, everything seems to be in working order.

Edit: I posted a comment with a potential fix, read it if needed.

I'm having the same issue, I restarted my computer completely but discord has not updated and the issue is still there. Does anyone know of a way to manually check for updates?

If you use BetterDiscord (like myself), another fix is to double click on the BetterDiscord program, and press “Repair”; then “Repair on Stable” and also check the box “Discord Infinite Update Loop” or “BetterDiscord not starting with Discord” and one of those should fix it.

If that doesn’t work/apply to you then try completely reinstalling Discord.
