Typing suggestions don't work properly, adds correct word to the end of the existing characters

I have been having difficulty with typing suggestions, as I described in the title, whenever I type a word partly and select one of the suggestions, it just keeps the characters already written and attaches the complete word to the end of it, which is causing me a lot of problems.

I have this issue on and off while using Outlook on the web, and also when typing on Teams.

Here is a recent example: (upload images fails here on the forum)

I am using Windows 11 pro version 22H2 and You have Microsoft Teams Version 1.6.00.6754 (64-bit). It was last updated on 3/28/2023.

All help is appreciated

 

How do I add a custom word to the auto correct function when typing?

When you type the word you wish to add, tap the word to highlight it, then in the suggestion ribbon you'll see the word at the left with a "+" in front of it. Tap the word and it'll be added.





I have done that many times and the only effect I've seen is that the word doesn't show underlined anymore. I never see the word added to the list of suggestions or correcting what I write. Is there anything in particular that needs to be done?

Hi Ashima,

I'm Sumit, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Community.

I agree it is an annoyance.

Please open Start>Settings>Time & language > Typing>Turn off"Show text suggestions when typing on the physical keyboard".

Hope this helps.
