Windows 10: Can't turn off spell check

I've noticed that in programs such as Steam or things I use for modding games, that a spell check is active. It uses my native language Dutch.
No matter what I do, I can't turn this off. It makes things hard to read, when almost every word has a red line under it.

I went to Settings > Typing and turned off spell check and similar options. But the spell check is still on. I have no idea what's going on or how to fix this.
Any ideas?


Thanks in advance.

Spartan/Edge.. turning on spell check??





And spell with 3 L's auto corrected for me, most words do, which is a pain when I write German, or a mix of both English & German.
For a list, go to the right of the word, right click, and swipe left.
