Notepad finally gets spellcheck and autocorrect on Windows 11

Microsoft has made significant improvements to Notepad in recent years, adding features like tab support, character and word count, spellcheck, and autocorrect. Users on Windows 11 can now benefit from spellcheck and autocorrect features, with the autocorrect function dependent on spellcheck being active. Users can selectively turn off spellcheck for certain file formats. Notepad now highlights misspelled words and offers suggestions, with the option accessible through right-click or keyboard shortcut. In early 2024, Copilot integration was observed in Windows 11 Insider builds and native apps, including a feature in Notepad called "Explain with Copilot." However, recent builds have seen this feature disappear, possibly indicating a shift towards Copilot being a standalone app. Microsoft may consider integrating an AI explanation feature directly into Notepad for a more streamlined user experience.
