it's just me or the spell check is broken in Edge Stable ?
doing reset in Edge does not fix the issue as I mentioned previously.
inside edge://prefs-internals the option "enable_spellchecking" is in "false".
editing manually the Preferences file inside %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\ and changing "enable_spellchecking" to "true" fixed the issue completely.
but now I'm wondering how the file could be with enable_spellchecking value in false if inside Edge settings for spell check it was already enabled (as you can see in the picture above)?
this is strange, a really weird bug xD
and btw, I've just installed Windows 10 in a fresh PC and noticed that the bug is also present in new installs, but only when Edge is updated to the newest version, so maybe the functionally is broken in new version of Edge only or something brokens it when Edge is updated.

Glad to hear it:)

No, you didn't mention it - that's why I asked!

The act of resetting apparently switches the enable_spellchecking preference to false and also disables the toggle on the Languages settings page. I'm told there's a fix in the works, but no ETA yet.
