Hi,
so after 2,5 years of running this PC without it a couple of weeks ago the spell checker feature simply enabled itself somehow and I can.not turn the damn thing off again.
It highlights every word in certain programs and websites like Steam or Link Removed. Here it is turned off, using Firefox.
I mostly type in English and it underlines every single word in those programs since it is convinced I should be typing German. It drives me MAD to write emails and forum posts with every word underlined red. Here is what I tried:
- turned it off in the settings obviously
- as a compromise tried BOTH changing my region and display language to English. Nope, still convinced every non-German word is wrong. What?!
- tried gpedit from this thread:
superuser.com
Had to install gpedit.msc and changed it there, nope.
Downloaded a file from some site (can´t find it right now) that was supposed to make changes to regedit to turn it off, nope.
It makes me so angry I´m close to throwing my PC out of the window.
Please, any help?
