Notepad's spellcheck and autocorrect are rolling out to everybody after 41 years


It's still bare-bones by most standards, but Notepad has evolved a lot recently.

Like other recent Notepad additions, spellcheck and autocorrect can be tweaked or disabled entirely in the settings. The update that adds these features to Notepad is now rolling out to all Windows 11 users via the Microsoft Store, as reported by The Verge. 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.
