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, ever since my teams was updated , spell check no longer works. I have abled and disabled it and still nothing. English United States is my only language. Please advise. I NEED SPELL CHECK. Thank you,

After trying all of the above your step finally worked as of 2:15 PM on Thursday spell check is back to work. We shall see see how long it lasts. I finally just reset teams within the settings, aso deleting the older version of Teams. Thank you I'm just editing this conversation directly. At 8:00 this morning on January the 26th, spell check stopped working again in Teams. I did not turn off my computer I just x'ed out of everything and opened it up this morning. Frustrating. Still working on 1/30.

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
