Notepad's spellcheck and autocorrect now available to all after 41 years

Microsoft has introduced spellcheck and autocorrect features to Windows Notepad, available now for Windows 11 users via the Microsoft Store. This update, part of ongoing enhancements to Notepad, allows users to identify and correct misspellings with red underlines, offering suggestions through a right-click menu. Autocorrect automatically fixes common typos, enhancing text editing efficiency. Users can customize these features in Notepad's settings, enabling or disabling them for specific file types like .txt while excluding others like coding-related files. Notepad's recent updates, including dark mode support and a tabbed interface, signify substantial improvements to its traditionally minimal feature set. As Microsoft phases out WordPad from future Windows releases, Notepad becomes a primary choice for basic word processing tasks.
