<![CDATA[How to eliminate the blinking spell check/suggestion popup? Notepad++ 7.7.1]]>I can’t seem to find the answer to how to turn off that annoying popup when I’m typing a letter or taking notes? Flashing and blinking trigger migraines.

I have Windows 10 and Notepad++ Version 7.7.1.

Notepad++ is my favorite/only Windows text editor, used it for years with Windows 7.

Whatever I did to get rid of that blinking popup in 7, I can’t find a solution for Windows 10, anywhere. Please help?

Regards the ‘blinking’: Every word and letter I typed caused the popup to come up or changed it. I like things to hold still, on my screen.

Follow these steps to add spell checker on notepad++:

Step 1:- Go to the Plugins menu.

Step 2:- Select Spell-Checker and inside of spell-checker select How to use…
Note :- If Spell Checker isn’t shown in the list, open the Plugin Manager and check it from the available tab and then click Install.

Step 3:- Now follow the link in How to use… window : http://aspell.net/win32/

Step 4:- After opening link in browser select Full Installer under Binaries : and download the file.

Step 5:- Then under dictionary select aspell-en-0.50-2-3.exe and download that file.

Step 6:- Run the first downloaded file, it’s full name should be Aspell-0-50-3-3-Setup.exe and installation is simple, just click Next a bunch of times.

Step 7:- Next, install the dictionary file. It has the same type of setup click next until it is done.

Step 8:- Now exit and restart Notepad++.

Step 9:- Now open Plugins menu .It will have different options. Click on the Spell-Checker . You can also use Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S as a shortcut for this.

Step 10:- Open spell-checker dialog and it will find the match, except that spellcheck is automatically hunting down words that don’t match its dictionary.

I hope above information will be useful for you.
Thank you.

Hopefully those links will help you turn off that feature.

If that’s not it, you’ll have to explain better what you’re seeing, because I don’t know what’s “blinking” about that auto-completion feature.

Also, since you call it “spell check”, do you have a separate spell-check plugin running / enabled? If you go to the ? menu, and choose Debug Info > Copy debug info into clipboard, and paste it into your reply, we’ll be able to see what plugins you have, which may or may not be causing the “blinking”.
