WIN 10 AUG 10 Update killed spell check FIXED TNK ALL

It appears since the Aug 10 2106 Big Update for WIN 10 I have lost spell check using FIREFOX and GOOGLE CHROME.

Spell Check is working just fine if I am using WIN 10 Microsoft Edge Browser.

I really never started using the Windows Edge Browser until now. I miss my spell checker.

using FIREFOX and GOOGLE Chrome I get the notice that spell check failed to load.

Can't find any other places to reset it again.

I have noticed that ADOBE FLASH is asking me to download a new version - Maybe that's the problem...

I'm thinking it just WIN 10 is clearing out all of the old stuff to make you start using the WIN 10 Edge hehe...

Anyone else notice this...

    That what makes me think it may be something else here. I am on the WOODSALL forum portal and both FIREFOX and GOOGLE CHROME was working SPELL CHECK last month just fine. Then I got the WIN 10 big upgrade that was suppose to get folks ready for their Anniversary upgrade which I haven't done yet here... That's about the last thing that happened here as for as upgrades go...

    Probably something else not set right...

    I use W10 with Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Edge. Spell check works as it did before - it still can't spell Canadian English.

    Joe,

    I guess that pretty well confirms it ain't WIN10... No Spell check and when I click on spell check it give me an error page saying something about not loading. Then it says the usual fix is start up spell check again which I then I get the same error msg haha...

    Another thing I notice on EDGE is if I highlight a word the other browsers would open up that word in GOOGLE SEACRH and then I could pick the right spelling that way... WIN10 here doesn't have that link I guess

    I'll get my wiz kid in here and let her catch me up on all my programs latest updates. May have a few needed...

    darsben1 - Well it seems I have my FIREFOX version 48.0.2 back on doing spell checks. I selected an OPTION for do spell check as I type...

    I am typing on GOOGLE CHROME now on this dual monitor and it is still NOT doing spell check...

    sounds like alittle process huh...

    Just found the same option here on GOOGLE CHROME unchecked for using SPELL Check... Testing now.... OK it works I added too many e's in testing and it grabbed it...

    Now I am curious how both of these very easy options got disabled????

    Thanks for getting me to look in the options settings...
