How can I disable autocorrect in Edge?

I want to disable autocorrect in specific page of Edge Browser.

How can I disable autocorrect in Edge? But I don't want to disable autocorrect of whole Windows10. (example...Settings -> Devices -> Typing....This is not...!!)

What I found to do it disable autocorrect in the new Chromium-based Edge, is to right-click on a word that has been autocorrected. It should list the original word with the option to restore it. Beneath that, there should be an option to either disable autocorrect for that site or permanently. Select your preference and autocorrect should stop bugging you. Hope to be of help.

I have found a solution, friends of Edge! Download the Tampermonkey MS Edge extension from the Windows Store and install the following UserScript:

https://greasyfork.org/de/scripts/39190-disable-spellcheck-globally

This UserScript sets the "spellcheck" attribute to the global element/tag of every website you visit so that Edge MUST obey the rules. This also fixes the issue of auto-correction.

If you want to limit it to a certain website just modify the "@include" tags, for example:

@include https://www.reddit.com/*

To disable spellchecking on reddit only.

You can get Tampermonkey here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/tampermonkey/9nblggh5162s

Works on Windows 10 build 17112.1

You can solve this without editing the registry:

It's not about Edge but the whole win 10. Open Settings from the start menu, then go to devices. There you'll find a tab named Typing, fifth in the list for me, and the autocorrect feature is displayed there. If you switch the autocorrect off, edge will stop bugging your text (i actually wrote this in edge ;) ). Enjoy. :)

Note: Currently open Edge windows will still auto-(in)correct until Edge has been restarted.

Apparently the menu is not available by default.

By reading the instructions here : http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-networking/how-to-turn-of-autocorrect-typing-in-edge/6944dcc4-6ef4-4ec6-afaa-5a0ca08c3bd2?auth=1

You can follow this and it should work :

If for some reason the "Typing" tab in the settings is gone (It was for me) you can unhide it through regedit.

Use regedit and search for the following value: "ShowAutoCorrection". Change the value to '1' and you should be able to access "Settings -> Devices -> Typing" to change your autocorrection settings.

Restart your application, log in and out, or reboot your system to make the changes apparent. It worked for Skype at the very least for me.
