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.

Hi All, we are in July almost and error is still ! what is going on you have implemented new version with so huge bug and now I do not have a chance to use old version?? we don't need apologies but rather good working software which we paid for. -> seriously 7 points how to fix it??? it should be delivered tested and w/o bugs

It is a bit shame on Microsoft, I want the old version back just for the spell check. I don't use any of the feature that come to the new version.

I still have this problem. How can I fix it?

For mounts now is Microsoft stating its team is focusing on this issue with a high priority. It says "Language-aware spell checking is currently not available in the new Teams. The team is focusing on this issue with a high priority. Check back for updates." Well, I'm checking it now and it's the same text from months ago. When I first read it I got the sense of urgency Microsoft was referring to this issue. Focusing... High priority... I thought to myself this problem is going to be solved in a matter of hours or days. A few months later and nothing change in both the issue or the text describing this issue. How can you focus for months op a high priority issue without solving it? i'm a little bit puzzled. Did you ever tried focusing on solving something? after a few minutes you get tired and lose your concentration. And yet for months now the Microsoft team didn't lose their focus on the (high priority) problem. their concentration seems to be extraordinary! Really amazing. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/new-teams-known-issues

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
