How to Enable or Disable Auto Text Suggestion When Typing on Windows 11

How to Enable or Disable Auto Text Suggestion When Typing on Windows 11.

On Windows 11, you’ve been able to get text suggestions as you type for a long time, but it was only available using the on-screen keyboard. However, starting with Windows 11 version 1803, it’s now possible to get text suggestions when using a hardware keyboard.

This is an opt-in feature, and Microsoft is aiming this feature for user learning English, education, and accessibility. Once enabled, as you type with a hardware keyboard, you’ll see a new caret with text candidate that you can select using the mouse or keyboard.

In this guide, you’ll learn the steps to enable text suggestion as you type using a hardware keyboard on Windows 11.

We are used to text suggestions thanks to smartphone keyboards. Those little popups that display what we want to type next are time-savers. But they can also be annoying if you're mixing languages.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 11 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, and Samsung.

It's that simple! I spent an hour or more poking around GMail Settings, fiddling around with Smart Compose to no avail. Your tutorial solved the problem. Thanks.

I fear computer companies are backdooring keyboards with these features. Next Gen Censorship

It could not be turned off at least under present version of Windows 11. I set it at "off" and the suggestions are still coming up even as I type this comment.
