How to enable or disable spell checking in Windows 10
Since the arrival of the latest version of Windows, Microsoft has struggled to simplify the System Settings application, leaving Control Panel behind. Therefore, the process for setting up spell checking is very simple.
- First, open Windows 10 settings. To do this, go to the start menu and click on the gear icon.
- Find the Devices section and open it.
- Now, open the Typing section.
- In the Spelling section you will find two options. On the one hand, automatically correct misspelled words . Activating or deactivating this setting, we will turn off or on the auto correction. If we enable it, it will automatically touch up all those mistakes we make when writing. On the other hand, we have the option Highlight misspelled words available . If we activate this feature, all those words that contain errors will be highlighted.
The auto corrector Windows 10 works, mainly in applications of the system and universal applications. However, if we are Microsoft Word users, we must enable or disable this feature from the application itself, since it works independently. The same goes for the web browser. For example, Chrome or Edge have their own auto-checker and this must be enabled or disabled from the browser’s own settings.
