How to turn on or off spell checking in Windows 10
There’s now an option coming directly from the Settings app that allows you to choose to have the spell checker off or on. There’s also another option that automatically applies the changes to the words that the spell checker deemed incorrect.
The Windows 10 spell checker isn't impeccable—few spell checker programs ever are yet. In any case, Windows 10 includes another alternative that enables clients to add extra words to the Windows Dictionary and those changes will be applied into the spell checker as well.
How to enable/disable Autocorrect in Windows 10
Open Settings app by pressing Win + I keys and click on the “Devices” link from the Settings app.
Click on “Typing” from the left pane.
Under the “Spelling” heading is where you will find the options available for the autocorrect. The “Autocorrect misspelled words” option have it set so that Windows does all of the work for you.
If you do not enjoy having the words corrected automatically for you, then you can always turn that option off and then turn on the “Highlight misspelled words” option instead.
The words added to the dictionary no longer come up as misspelled words after they are added to the dictionary. If you have had a play with the spelling feature from the Settings app but aren’t noting the changes, it’s likely because the browser or app you are using needs to be closed and reopened before the changes take effect.
