Windows 8/8.1/10 Can't make faces/emote

I started playing today and can't make the F1-F7 faces in game. I push the keys but nothing happens for some reason. I saw another beginner do it so it's not a level cap thing like I thought. Even if I remap them to different keys that work with other inputs it still doesn't help (e.g. Shift works for Three Snails ability, but does nothing when I put an emote on Shift)

I tried searching the forums but couldn't find anything about this. Can anyone help?

 

This worked! Thank you so much!
