Windows 10: Predictive Text in Windows 10

I know you have already addressed this issue however, it is still a problem. It has just recently started for me and I have done EVERYTHING you suggested and then some!!! Nothing has gotten rid of the annoying little box of words! I don't know how or why it appeared or why I can't get rid of it but it is very distracting when I am trying to concentrate on writing a paper!

PLEASE help turn this dang thing OFF!!!!!!

Thank you!!!!!

:)

Why would a User who has encountered the problem of 'Predictive Text' suddenly now missing from their Windows 10 mobile device "Select the Option to turn off the “suggest text”"?

This strikes me as illogical to resolving the identified problem. I might understand if you instructed the User to restart their device then turn it On to see if toggling the setting might re-enable this service. However, that not being stated suggests an
oversight/error.

In my situation, my Lumia 950 XL no longer simply identifies 'correct' words as before. This became noticeable prior to the recent 9 step + 8 step series of Windows 10 Mobile updates.

I found this predictive text service quite helpful with respect to my 'large' fore-finger tip often unintentionally touching adjacent characters resulting in typing errors ranging from quite simple to utterly deranged 'words' which often are corrected by
simply touching one of the array of suggested alternate options available.
