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.

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.

I just found that my spell check is directly tied to the setting "Show Suggested Replies in Chat" Once I check that box, spell check returns. Not the best solution because the suggested replies drive me crazy, but I get spell check back.

I am running the same version, but it is not working for me.

Spell check is completely broken in the new Teams for me as well. I've switched back to Teams Classic which seems to work fine. MS really needs to learn how to QA software before a release, and maybe start using new builds of their own products internally before releasing them into the world.

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
