    Turn On or Off Spell Checking in Windows 10


    so i have gone a few days now after changing the settings to allow Microsoft to see how i type...but stoll not getting any predictions or automatic word corrections (hence rhe mosspellings and non capitalzed wordsin rhisn post by way of example).

    is this simply the case of a horrible touch keyboard or do others actually get autpmatic capitalozaion, auto correct of mispelled words etc?

    really renders typing on this tabley useless and frustrating.

    Hi Shawn, in participating in a recent thread I've found this spelling feature is only applicable to universal apps, not desktop programs. Another member confirms this is stated in various places in the forum. Nor does it seem to apply when typing a search string in Edge (which in one way seems quite reasonable).

    Could you confirm this, and if so, would it be appropriate to amend the first statement "Windows 10 includes a spell checking feature for when you type words anywhere in Windows 10."? Thanks.

    Turn On or Off Spell Checking in Windows 10

    It works for me in Internet Explorer and some of the other included desktop apps (ex: notepad) in Windows 10. *Confused

    Hi. I have the highlight misspelled words option on, but it doesn't work anywhere, including in apps such as wordpad. Any ideas?

    I use LINE (chat application) and I'd like it to work there too.

    Hello Rob, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

    Is not working in any application in Windows 10?

    If you type helo in the reply box here, does it get underlined when pressing the space bar after typing it?

    Hey. Yeah, it works here, I thought that might be a site or Chrome specific spell check.

    Is it only selective places / applications that it works? I read that it should work in all applications, such as wordpad. I had hoped it would work in LINE. Is there any way to get it setup to replicate how it works on a phone?

    Normally, it should work system wide.

    In reality, it may not always work with 3rd party apps.

    Hello Rococo, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

    I'm glad you got it sorted.

    Did you use option 2 and 3 to sort it?
