Windows 10: Lately spell checks in browsers act differnettly or do not werk at all

Lately spell checks in browsers act differently or do not work at all. In Firefox and chrome both I have been noticing that the browser will indicate my spelling IS WRONG but when I right click on it then I am not offered the normal spelling replacements when I right click on the word. When I try to do searches for this problem I find all kinds of things but nothing that has to do with this new problem of so often no word shows up when right clicking. Anyone Else ? Win 10

Hi exaltedwombat. Welcome to TenForums @exaltedwombat


You say your settings are correct under devices. I would suggest to disable in Settings and then restart. Once restarted go in and enable. Worth a shot.

I assume it also does not perform spell check in browser, what browser do you use?

Spell check is not working on Twitter.

Hi Marie,

Windows should make necessary auto-correction if the Autocorrect misspelled words option in the Settings app is enabled. A built-in restriction on the website you are using could be a possible cause why the spell check is not working on it. For us to provide
an accurate resolution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

• Are you experiencing the same issue even when accessing the website using other web browsers, or is the issue isolated to a specific browser?
• Is the spell check working before on the website you are using? If yes, what changes have you made to your computer before this issue occurred?
• Are you experiencing the same issue on other websites?

To check if the issue is not with the built-in spell checker on your Windows 10, we suggest testing it on any Office application. Let us know if the spell check is also not working with the Office apps.

We are looking forward to your response.
