Sometimes, it takes a company a long time to add a new feature, no matter how many times users ask. However, it doesn't usually take 40 years for a core feature to arrive. But that's precisely what happened with spellcheck and autocorrect on Windows Notepad, which first came to Windows in 1983.
Microsoft began testing the features in March, around the same time it killed Wordpad. The company is ready to roll this update out to Windows 11 users.
