Why does spell check keep disapearing?

Grammarly and and Spell hecks often disappear when using Keyboard
How do you make them permanent?
I need a spell check as I am Dyslexic.

Hi Azure I am dyslexic too and use Grammarly and it doesn't disappear with me . On the contrary, it can be a pain popping up and insisting I change something and blocking my way when I am trying to type.

Re: Why does spell check keep disapearing?

It's not something I've used but only read about. It seems it can be a either a browser extension or something added to MS Word.

The usual thing to try when an installed extension or program doesn't run properly is to reinstall it.

You could also try a bit of computer house-keeping to make sure old temp tiles or browser data isn't affecting it. Even if it turns out it isn't, this is something that should be done with a Windows computer once in a while anyway.
