Windows 10: Is autocorrect corrupted by Grammarly plugin?

I have Windows 10 Home with Office suite 365 Family, and am using a Dell desktop DAMAVK4, with 64-bit OS x 64-based processor.



I have the Grammarly plugin



My issues are:



1 The words I enter into Autocorrect using Alt+ T + A are fine during the session in which I first add them to autocorrect, but are not recognised when I restart Word the next day. The misspelt words I have added reappear in red underline unchanged, as if their entries in autocorrect were not accepted/remembered after shutting down the PC.



2 Sometimes, words that I have added to autocorrect by using right-click > Add to autocorrect also appear to later be unrecorded, i.e., not added to my autocorrect list.



I wondered if this might have something to do with the Grammarly plugin.



I have tried:

Logging out of the plugin, but that doesn't help

Taking off the plugin completely uninstalling it, but the issue persists.

Checking for Office updates; still the same problem

Completely reinstalling Office – still the same problem



3 Also, I am constantly asked to sign into Microsoft top right of Word and Excel. Sometimes my login works only for a minute and I am logged out again, sometimes I am fine until the next day when I turn on and am logged out again.

I am not using the plugin at these times; it is installed but not activated. It seems random, and today, I was told my password was not recognised and I had to change it.



I have contacted Grammarly who are unable to help.



I wondered if Microsoft knew of this bug and a way to fix it as it is very frustrating.



Thanks.

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.
