Enable or Disable Text Prediction in Microsoft Edge

Turn on or off Text Prediction in Edge

Text prediction Microsoft Edge settings let you turn on word suggestions so the browser finishes your sentences as you type. You can turn this feature on or off anytime inside the Microsoft Edge settings menu under writing tools. This helps you type faster in web forms and emails without installing 💿 extra browser extensions or third-party add-ons.

Managing these preferences occurs under the Writing assistance section.

Here is how to do it:

1. Open the Microsoft Edge browser.
2. Click the three horizontal dots in the top right corner.
3. Select Settings.

1. Select Languages on the left side of the screen.
2. Click on Writing assistance.

1. Find the “Use text prediction” option. Toggle the switch to On or Off.

Close the settings ⚙️ tab upon finishing.

Enable / Disable text prediction in Edge (Registry Editor)

Registry Editor tweaks let system administrators force text prediction Microsoft Edge policies across multiple work computers at once. This method locks the setting so regular users cannot change it on their own devices. Make sure you back up your registry before you make any changes because mistakes can break your system.

First, open the Windows Registry and navigate to:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge

Create a System Restore point beforehand as an added safety precaution.

1. Right-click in the folder, select New, then select DWORD (32-bit) Value.
2. Name it TextPredictionEnabled.
3. Double-click the name and set the value to 1 to enable it.
4. Set the value to 0 to disable it.

Delete the “TextPredictionEnabled” entry to restore default browser behavior. Restarting the system may prove necessary for applying these modifications.

You can now use text prediction or enforce it via group policy depending on your setup.
