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.

Did this fix the issue permanently, or did the spellcheck issue return? I have gone through all of the suggested workarounds which seem to only temporarily suppress the issue. It would be valuable to see people follow up on their postings here, to acknowledge the fix actually sticking. From what I have observed, the issue always returns after some time.

Is this fixed yet? I'm on version 23335.232.2637.4844 & saying the "latest version" I can clear my cache that fixes it but the next day it is back again.... Come on Microsoft prioritize this. I'm running Windows 11 OS Delete the folder: %localappdata%\packages\msteams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams

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
