    How to disable Autocorrect or Spellcheck in Windows 10 Mail app


    The Mail app in Windows 10 is an easy way to access your email to send and receive emails from recipients and get a notification that you have received an email. Although the autocorrect and spellcheck features in the Windows 10 app help with your grammar, you can disable them. Some users will want to disable their autocorrect or spellcheck feature due to them typing their emails in another language and prefer to eliminate autocorrections because of annoyance.

    This tutorial will explain the steps to disable the Autocorrect or Spellcheck feature in your windows 10 mail app.

    • Autocorrect: Automatically correct misspellings and common typos.
    • Spellcheck: A software feature that checks for misspelling in a text.

  2. How disable autocorrect/spell check in Windows 10 Mail app?

    We are August 2019 now and toggling autocorrect off in the language settings on the main page, didn't stop the issue. Typing the Dutch phrase "Iemand
    heeft een probleem" would still be autocorrected to "Iemand
    heft een problem".

    As many confirmed, toggling off autocorrect misspelled words in settings > language > Spelling, typing and keyboard, does not cut it.

    On the bottom of the page with these settings, you should find a section "More keyboard settings" and a topic "Suggestions and autocorrections"

    Once I toggled off the autocorrections there as well, the issue in the windows 10 mail app stopped occuring (I closed and re-opened the mail app once, before testing, but not sure this is required).

    I didn't spend time backtracing my steps and trying to confirm whether this in fact was the solution, but possibly this helps others, who are as frustrated as I was with this issue.

    Disable autocorrect in Windows 10 Mail app

    I am aware that this thread (How disable autocorrect/spell check in Windows 10 Mail app?) has the exact same question. But as many people have noted
    in it, the proposed solution does not work. Mail still autocorrects while I'm typing. So I thought I'd ask again, just in case.

    How can I make it so that Mail stops autocorrecting?

    How disable autocorrect/spell check in Windows 10 Mail app?

    Like the original questioner I have my Windows 10 set to English, but have to type lots of e-mails in other languages, in my case German and French. Whenever I do, Windows 10 Mail App keeps correcting non-English words to English word, such as German "werden"
    to English "warden".

    I followed your suggested steps, and as you can see from the below screen dumps all autocorrect optionsare off.

    Nevertheless, the unwanted corrections still occur.

    I am using Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview, Build 18922.rs_prerelease.190614-1427.

    Thank you!
