Spellcheck in Notepad is the latest feature addition in a long line of improvements to this built-in Windows 11 app. Microsoft announced in December that it’s adding a character count to Notepad ...

Microsoft is finally rolling out spellcheck and autocorrect for its Notepad app in Windows 11, more than 40 years after the simple text editor was first introduced in Windows in 1983.

Per usual, spellcheck in Notepad highlights misspellings with red squiggly underlines, and right-clicking the word or pressing Shift + F10 will pop up a short menu of suggested fixes.

A recent update to Notepad on Windows 11 adds support for spell check and autocorrect. Microsoft hasn't announced the update, but we've already seen the features roll out to PCs.

I can currently see the spellcheck and autocorrect features in Notepad version 11.2405.13.0 running on a fully updated Windows 11 23H2 PC, but your mileage may vary.
