I have my Teams language set to English (United States), have enabled spell check in Teams, and restarted (force quit) Teams, yet spellcheck is not working for me at all in the new Teams. I know on January 17, 2023, Microsoft included the following spellcheck issues in their list of known issues with Teams : On Windows, spell checking is limited to English (United States) dictionaries. Until this feature is fixed, users can disable spell checking from the settings page. Some spell checker suggestions for English can be inaccurate. A Windows fix is pending, with an estimated rollout date of January. Users can choose to disable spell checking from the settings page until then. However, the issue seems to be broader than that, as I'm not just getting inaccurate suggestions, I'm not getting any suggestions at all. It is not underlining incorrect words, and it is not providing any suggestions. I typed a message into a Teams chat with simple mistakes, then waited 15 seconds in case maybe there's a delay in spellcheck, but nothing gets highlighted as incorrect. (screenshot below) My Teams version info: You have Microsoft Teams version 23335.232.2637.4844(preview). You've got the latest version. It was last updated on 1/23/2024.The client version is 49/24010419113.

Hello, We have reached the point where this is ridiculous. Why is it that something as well known and used as spell check in all Microsoft products cannot work properly in Teams? Regards, Raynald

This does not work in a company setting as they choose the language in your computer and they are just admins who are allowed to do it. Teams auto correct in different languages stopped with one of the Microsoft update never came back! all the possible checks above checked and nothing works!

It's not an easy issue. It took me a lot of time and tries to figure out. I think the problem is related to your languages display on windows. This is what I did to relief that headache! Choose and add your preferred language on that set settings of windows. Reset your windows session after that. Choose your keyboard on taskbar next to the date and time. Stick out that speeling check on teams and stick back. Restart your windows again.

Hey WES For Teams: Are you using English US for spell checker? Have you tried English UK to see if it shows spellcheck. For Outlook : The most straightforward method is to use Ctrl + E or F3 for searching, but if you really want to change Ctrl + F to go to the search box, the AutoHotkey method provides an effective workaround for that purpose you have to Download and install AutoHotKey to Remap Keys.

Clearing the cache worked for me on Windows 11 with Teams version 23335.232.2637.4844.

Close Teams, Open this directory: %userprofile%\appdata\local\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams

Delete all files

Hello,

We have reached the point where this is ridiculous.

Why is it that something as well known and used as spell check in all Microsoft products cannot work properly in Teams?

Hey WES

For Teams:

Are you using English US for spell checker? Have you tried English UK to see if it shows spellcheck.

For Outlook :
The most straightforward method is to use Ctrl + E or F3 for searching,
but if you really want to change Ctrl + F to go to the search box, the AutoHotkey method provides an effective workaround for that purpose you have to Download and install AutoHotKey to Remap Keys.
