Windows 10 Autocorrect Not Working? Try These 3 Best Fixes



Before you proceed, it is important to note that autocorrect (on Windows) only works with Universal Windows Platform (UWP) applications (i.e., Windows Store apps). Apps developed by Microsoft or apps installed from the Microsoft Store fall under this category. Examples include Outlook, Microsoft Edge, Mail, and so on.




Windows 10 Autocorrect Not Working




Another effective way to resolve autocorrect problems is to check whether you have the correct keyboard language pack installed on your Windows computer. For instance, you should have a UK English language pack installed on your PC if you want to have Windows to efficiently autocorrect the word in UK English. You need to install respective language packs on Windows for the feature to working accordingly.


Note: This forum post helped me find the answer (see the comment from Jay Freeman on page 2 dated 10 January 2017): -us/office/forum/office_2013_release-word/word-2013-autocorrect-stopped-working-mid-document/655258c4-a307-4b5d-a8d6-d81a146a8b39?db=5


Once you have enabled the two settings, you will see Windows suggesting three words as you type. The autocorrect feature may be harder to notice, however, this is because it only works in UWP apps. As such it will not work in any app not installed via the Microsoft Store.


My name is Mitch Bartlett. I've been working in technology for over 20 years in a wide range of tech jobs from Tech Support to Software Testing. I started this site as a technical guide for myself and it has grown into what I hope is a useful reference for all.


Step 3: Scroll down the page to see the Hardware keyboard section. Here, enable Autocorrect misspelled words as I type option to enable auto spelling correction. Turn off the same option to disable the autocorrect feature.


I've checked the client reference ( -us/windows/configuration/manage-windows-endpoints-version-1709) but this doesn't seem to contain anything related.Thank you in advance!Kristof
