How do I enable spell checking in Notepad++?

This question from 4 years ago claims that Notepad++ has spell checking enabled by default. This doesn't seem to be the case anymore, as I haven't been able to find any sign of a spell check option in Notepad++ v7.5.1.

How can I re-enable spell checking in Notepad++?

1. Install the Plugin Manager if you do not have it already

2. Install DSpellCheck: Plugins --> Plugins Admin:

   • (check the box for DSpellCheck)
   • Install

3. Restart Notepad++ (if necessary)

4. Download dictionaries: Plugins --> DSpellCheck --> Settings:

   • Library: Hunspell
   • Download... (check boxes for your dictionaries, Install Selected)
   • Language: (select your language)

5. OK

6. Restart Notepad++ (if necessary)

Turn automatic spell check on and off with the red-squiggle ABC button in the toolbar.

Install DSpellCheck plugin.

Here is how to,

1. Goto: Plugins -> Plugin Manager -> Show Plugin manager
2. Select DSpellCheck from Available plugin list
3. Click Install and let notepadd++ restart
4. Goto: Plugins -> DSpellCheck -> Change Current Language
5. Select your language(s) and add

There are several spell checkers available as plug-ins to Notepad++. You can add them via the Plugin Manager or manually by downloading them from the resources page and then extracting them to your Notepad++ install folder.

It seems the original default spell check was removed due to it occasionally causing crashes with Windows 10. The original spell check function was DSpellCheck.
