Outlook: Spellcheck box unchecked, but misspelled words underlined

Question

Hi,
In Outlook (V 2208 Build 15601.20148 Click- to-Run) I have Check spelling as you type turned off, but every few days it starts underling misspelled words. The box remains unchecked, but the "functionality" is on. In order to turn underlining off again I first need to check that box and save, then uncheck the box and save again. This has gotten very old :-(
Does anyone know how to make this option stick as off?
Thanks!
Ethan

Hi @Ethan Strauss ，

Welcome to our forum!

In order to verify your issue, has this problem occurred recently, or has it always existed?

We suggest you also check the “Mark grammar errors as you type” check box to disable the grammar check

Try to create a new profile and re-add your account to test if the issue continues. To create a new profile, follow the steps:
Go to Control Panel > Mail > Shows Profiles > Add, then re-add your account.

If the above doesn't help, it could be due to registry corruption, and you need to repair office from control Panel

Hope above can help you! If you still need help, feel free to contact us.
