Spellcheck for Notepad is rolling out, Windows Insiders first to test it

As you may remember, Microsoft is planning to add the spellcheck feature to Notepad, and it seems that we finally have some news about this feature.

It appears that this version of Notepad is rolling out for testing, so here’s what you should know.

Spellcheck for Notepad is slowly rolling out to Windows Insiders

We already wrote that Microsoft was working on a version of Notepad with spellcheck feature not that long ago, and now it seems that this version is rolling out, as MSPowerUser writes.

According to Windows Blog, the feature is rolling out to Windows Insiders in the Beta and Release Preview Channel:

UPDATE 4/9: The below update for Notepad (version 11.2402.22.0) that introduces spellcheck has begun rolling out to Windows Insiders in the Beta and Release Preview Channels.

The spellcheck feature will be enabled by default and it will underline misspelled words allowing you to correct them by selecting the misspelled word or by using Shift + F10 shortcut.

Of course, you’ll be able to ignore certain words in the document or add them to the dictionary to permanently ignore them.

You can also disable spellchecking for certain file types or temporarily disable it for the current file. Overall, it’s a welcome feature and we hope to see it available soon.

This is not all that Microsoft has in store, and the new Microsoft Store is 40% faster than before, and the Settings app will get some new features in the upcoming feature update.
