Windows 10: English English Spell Check

It used to be that my web browser always had English English for its auto spell check, but ever since I went to Win Edge it started to try to "correct" me with American spellings. As a result I tried to change it back to English English, but now auto spell check doesn't work at all! Any idea how I can correct this and have it working again but with English English?

Windows 10 spell checking checks British English

Hi,

The default Windows 10 spell checker (i.e. the one in browser test inputs such as this) uses British English for spell checking

Colour = correct, Color = Incorrect etc.

My Wndows Display Language is set to English (United States) and my first proffered language is also English (United States) (though it was previously English (Israel) - I restarted after changing)

What am I missing? How do I fix this?

 

6230i can't spell British English words ending "-ize"

ize is only preferred if your country of origin happens to be the USA, (Unable to Spell in America), as the OED lists each ize entry as an alternate spelling for the US.

As British European English users, there is no need to have ize listed in the dictionary unless the word is actually required to have this spelling variation.

 

Standard English spell checking and German keyboard in OneNote etc.

Hello, my name is Arif Ahmed, Windows Advisor.

I would be happy to help you.

Spellcheck is associated with the Keyboard layout you are using. As German words and English words have different spellings, the spellcheck won't work for English when you are using German keyboard layout.

Spellcheck only recognizes the words for current Keyboard layout (German).

However, you can switch keyboard layout from German to English by pressing Windows+Space keys together and verify the spellings in English.
