Windows 10: Bug in spellchecker regarding the prefix "pre"

When I add the prefix "pre" to a word with a hyphen, it flags it as incorrect and suggests "per" instead, which never makes any sense for the word. It suggests other prefixes which also would not create an actual word. For instance, if I type pre-menstrual syndrome or "pre-Christmas sale" or anything like that, it flags it as incorrect and suggests "per-menstrual syndrome" or "per-Christmas sale" instead (followed by "ore," "pee" 'pr," as potential correct prefixes, which are even more nonsensical.


Like I said, it takes a legitimate use of the prefix "pre" and suggests gibberish. It doesn't allow "pre" as a stand-alone prefix without a hyphen either.


How can I fix this (add "pre" to spellcheck as a legitimate prefix? It's a relatively minor thing as irritations go, but it seems rather odd and could be an issue for people with dyslexia or for whom English isn't a first language.
