Windows 10: The spell checker in Windows New Outlook no longer works.

The spell checker in Windows New Outlook no longer works. It got broken several month ago. Also, why use a left click to bring it up when every else uses a right click?!

Spell Checker for Outlook.Live Web Email not working.

Just another suggestion, that I'm sure won't help, is to check settings, devices, typing and both switches are on.

 

Spell Checker not working in Mail or Word Windows 10

The spelling checker is working in my Windows 10 Mail, and gives suggest corrections in a list, but there is no ADD function shown, to add the word to a custom dictionary. Office 365 Spell checker has this capability and saves the 'new' word to 'custom.dic'
and 'roamingdefault.dic. Mail seems to have this function, as the 'misspelt' word is at the bottom of the suggested alternatives but with a + in front of it. I assume this will then add it to a Mail custom dictionary but I can find no reference to what its
file name is or where is it located, so I cannot go and edit it, which I can do with the Office 365 dictionary.

I haven't tried FF but we do know it works with IE.

And another totally baffling discovery... it is the same (exactly) on a 14 year old PC running W8 and Edge Dev. This is with my Outlook test account. Unbelievably I was even prompted that there is a spelling and grammar check available.

So I'm kind of out of ideas now. The only common thing is using Outlook with Edge (normal or Dev builds).
