  1. How do I turn off autocorrect?


    I have an hp all in one desktop computer. It has Windows 11. I have been trying to turn off autocorrect as my son needs to do a test, but it isn't showing it as an option. What do I do? I have gone into settings and typing and looked all through there but the autocorrect and the hilight of misspelt words are not options.

    :)

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

    Hi,

    Notepad is a simple text-editing program that allows minimal formatting and limited to simple text entry. Meanwhile, the autocorrect in Windows 10 can be enabled or disabled by following the steps below:

    • Type Devices in Cortana search and press Enter.
    • Click Typing beside the keyboard icon.

    Each program has their own autocorrect features, from Windows built-in applications, web browsers, to installed applications. We suggest that you contact the application support to know more about their features.

    Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.
