I just saw that this is happening to multiple of my PC's
My laptop downstairs, and my desktop upstairs.
It is very annoying to show a misspelled word and then not offer the correct spelling

FYI...I am able to duplicate this while on this forum. I need to check other forums to see if I see the same. Note: Firefox(my normal browser) works fine on 11 Forums.
And update: This also appears on a 2nd user Forum I tried. Since I rarely use Edge this makes me curious as to what is going on.

    I'm a computer enthusiast so have quite a few systems that I run. More like an advanced hobby.

Since I am a fast careless typer, I tend to rely on spell check a lot. I notice it when it stops working.

Microsoft Editor checks grammar and more in documents, mail, and the web - Microsoft Support

Microsoft Editor uses enhanced proofing tools for Microsoft 365 subscribers. Identify spelling, grammar, and stylistic issues within your documents.
support.microsoft.com support.microsoft.com

Is this due to Microsoft Editor being an Edge add on, and I don't have it installed?

Or do you have to have MS word or MS 365 subscription installed?

It says this,
Editor is available as a browser extension for Microsoft Edge and Chrome, and it's being added to Word and Outlookapps. The free service lets you nail the basics of grammar and spelling.

Referring is corect while refering is wrong, but Microsoft Editor flags it red and offers no suggestions, and then later I try it, and it no longer flags it red.
Other words though ME is working fine.

Editing as now it offers the correct spelling, so it seems maybe the process has delays.

In the middle of my typing while editing 'wibble' went from a red w, to nothing being wrong.
And the first word went all red
So far it is not a reliable consistant spell check with ME. I can not trust it to always work.

Well today has been off and on, worky, no worky. I got tired of it. I switched back to basic and it works fine.
I wonder if the ME has to use a web server and it is just too busy to be reliable.

I have been having the same problem with the Spell Checker on MS Win11 Edge.
I switch to Basic as recommended here and it is giving suggestions.
I spelled recommended wrong and it did not give me a good suggestion.
Example: "Recomended" (with one m, but now it is giving me a good suggestion.

Windows NotePad works. I guess it is using the Windows 11 Basic Spell Checker and not the MS Window Edge spell Checker.

Microsoft updates have been causing havoc, causing more problems than they are fixing.
