    Autocorrect won't turn off on Windows 10 tablet.


    Using a Fusion 5 tablet, installed with Windows 10 Home Version 1803 Build 17134.706, running Office 365 16.0.11425.20228. Want to disable autocorrect. Turned off via Windows settings, but it's still operating. How can I stop it?


    Just to be clear: I am using the onscreen software keyboard. Settings App -> Devices -> Typing -> Autocorrect misspelt words and Highlight misspelt words are off. I've even tried to stop it via a registry edit. Same result: autocorrect is still operating.


    Ideally, I'd like to keep suggestions on. Happy with suggestions, I just want to do the corrections myself because it often `corrects` them wrongly which makes it harder to spot when proofreading.


    However, if turning off suggestions as well is the only way, I can live with that, but whenever I toggle that off, it toggles itself back on again and so autocorrect comes back.


    Tried asking this on the Office forums because I initially came across the problem when using Word, but it seems to be a general Windows problem.


    Any suggestions?

    :)
