Enable/disable typing suggestions in Windows 11

When you are typing something, typing suggestions will help you to quickly complete your task. Especially, if you have to type some long spellings, typing suggestions are specifically helpful in those scenarios. In other cases, if you do not know the correct spelling of something you want to type, typing suggestions are equally helpful in that case as well. In this article, we will see how you can enable or disable typing suggestions in Windows 11.

When typing suggestions are enabled, you can see how they are shown in your Windows 11, in below screenshot:

Typing suggestions are not supported on all of the languages. So if you enable them and they’re not shown, it might be possible that the language you are using on the system may not support typing suggestions. However, I believe they are supported for most of the languages. When you have typing suggestions enabled, whenever you type in any of the app, you have typing suggestions available.

To enable or disable typing suggestions, you can try either of the methods mentioned below. The steps are illustrated on Windows 11 build 22000.51.
