    Autocorrect feature is off but words are still being autocorrected


    As the title says, I'm having issues with Windows 11 autocorrecting words. This started happening suddenly about a month ago. I usually write in Spanish and whenever I write "momento" "moment", Windows corrects it to "memento" "memento/keepsake". It also happens with "a la" Spanish, which is changed to "à la" French, and a couple other words. As I said, I disabled the autocorrection feature in the "Time & Language" menu, but it's still happening. It happens in Wordpad, Chrome, Firefox... it doesn't happen in Word.If it helps, my display language is Spanish Spain, I've installed t

    Autocorrect misspelled words not working / can I use SwiftKey?

    I would like to have misspelled words in Dutch autocorrected while typing in the webbrowser chrome on windows. On my android phone, my keyboard (GBoard) does this fantastically. SwiftKey by Microsoft seems to do the same on android.

    In windows 10 PC Settings - Devices - Typing, I have 'autocorrect misspelled words' activated. For hardware keyboard, I have 'autocorrect misspelled words as I type' activated.

    Autocorrection does not work. I see suggested words (see attachment), and when I misspell a word, the correct suggestion usually comes up first. But I have to click the word to have it corrected.

    My questions: Am I doing something wrong and does this work for others? If it does not work for others, is there something I can do to get the android kind of typing on windows 10?

    My windows version number is 19041.685

  3. Autocorrect in Win10... basically non-existent(?)

    In this case, we suggest following the steps below to work around the issue:

    • On the Cortana search box, type Typing Settings and press
      Enter.
    • Turn off Autocorrect misspelled words and Highlight misspelled words.
    • Restart your PC.
    • Do step 1 and 2 but this time turn on Autocorrect misspelled words
      and Highlight misspelled words.
    • Restart your PC.
    • Check if the issue still exist.

    If you have questions, please let us know.

    autocorrect

    Why did microsoft word autocorrect suggest "****" as a word after I typed "what the"? Highly inappropriate and offensive.
