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.

Apparently they are rolling out the fix this week. Here are the recent notes from my Sev B with them. Update from MS Mon 2/5/2024 2:37 PM: We have developed and validated a fix for this issue, and we are currently in the process of deploying it. We expect the deployment to be completed and the problem to be resolved during the week of Monday, February 5, 2024. We will provide a confirmation of the timeline for remediation in our next scheduled update. We will see I guess...? -Jordan

This is still an issue today: February 5th 2024. We need this issue fixed ASAP please!

This worked for me. Quit Teams by right-clicking on the little icon in your system tray. Delete folder %localappdata%\packages\msteams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams Open Teams. I was prompted to update it 2 times after this, but my spell check is still working.

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
