With the recent update to Teams the spellchecker is not working correctly. It will show the misspelled word but when you click on it there is no longer a suggested spelling popping up. We (Several in the company) have noticed this on the latest update to the following version, Microsoft Teams Version 1.6.00.21970 (64-bit).
I have already gone in and deleted the setting.json file, that will work for a short time 10-20 minutes then back to not given a suggestion.
I am seeing an old issue TM390278 https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msteams/forum/all/microsoft-teams-spell-check/337ee648-af60-4cf4-8336-a1c68f3a1d78
I tested if we use the pop out feature and chat in a seperate window spellchecker will work as intended it appear to be the same issue as posted before.

I tried all those steps. I finally did an repair and rest under the App Settings. So far, so good. Hoping it doesn't revert in a week as others have mentioned.
this restart process below doesnt work - I have done the below
Log in to Teams > Turn Spell Check Off > Restart Teams > Turn Spell Check On > Restart Teams again.
Still the settings area show 'Enable spell check (requires restarting teams' and the spell check doesnt work :(
I have tried a few things to 'restart' teams including Quit from the task bar logging in and out several times etc.
Can anyone please help if they know a way to restarting teams that works?
Thanks,
Raks
Did that fix "stick"? I tried that solution to getting Teams spellcheck to work and it fixed the problem... For a short while and then spell check stopped working again.
