Spellchecker in new Teams is not working

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)

same issue with my laptop after teams updated.

the old version is ok but lates version does not work.

One more question is we have MS software. we have spellchecker in PPT Word and so no.....but why no spellchecker in Excel....

Uninstalling and reinstalling Teams fixed the issue for me.

This is the second time in the past couple of months that a reinstall fixed the spell-check issue.

Did you make sure to end all MS teams processes in Task Manager? CTL +ALT+DEL

Sometimes you have to scroll down and find all processes, not just the app.

I don't know other ways. Occasionally this needs to be done again.

• Close and quit the new Microsoft Teams application. Make sure to also end any MS Teams processes in Task Manager (need to scroll down, usually there are additional Microsoft Teams processes open)
• In the start run location (bottom left search box in windows) type: *%localappdata%\packages\msteams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft*
• Delete MSTeams folder – this will not delete your conversations.
• Start the new Microsoft Teams client
