Microsoft’s text suggestion feature will now be turned off by default in both Word and Outlook, reports The Register. The text suggestions attempt to predict which words or phrases the user intends to type in advance.
According to Microsoft, some users appreciate the feature, while others find the suggestions distracting. With it disabled by default, interested users can now choose for themselves whether they want to turn it on manually.
It is unclear whether the change will disable text suggestions for existing users who already have the feature enabled, or if it applies only to new installations and profiles.
