Windows 10 - Disabling Text Suggestions

[Broadfield99]

Hello All

 

I have a conundrum at my place of work. We have many rooms setup for 'Exams' use , the main software used is Surpass Secureclient for the delivery of content . During a recent upgrade the software will not load until 'Windows Text Suggestions' is disabled.

 

It would be a nightmare to visit each PC to change the settings!! Anyone out there with a solution ...I've done the usual google and ChatGpt research to no avail. Applying a GPO or Reg key fix would be ideal.

 

Thank you

 

Karim

Try setting the value for this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\TabletTip\1.7

value: EnableTextPrediction

type: DWORD

data: 0

Not working for us. Have set a User Group Policy to turn off 'Autocorrect misspelled words' and 'Highlight misspelled words', for exam accounts, it appears to apply (the setting is switched off) yet it still complains that this needs to be done.

Along with the Group Policy to do the below, I had to add additional registry keys to get the latest version of Surpass to launch.

 

User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options

 

Turn off autocorrect misspelled words - Enabled

Turn off highlight misspelled words - Enabled

Turn off insert a space after selecting a text prediction - Enabled

Turn off offer text predictions as I type - Enabled

 

Added the below registry keys after using Process Monitor to see what keys were being looked for.

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\TabletTip\1.7]

"EnableDoubleTapSpace"=dword:00000000

"EnableAutoCorrection"=dword:00000000

"EnableHwkbTextPrediction"=dword:00000000

"EnableSpellchecking"=dword:00000000

"MultilingualEnabled"=dword:00000000

Late to the party but... here are the reg keys required to get SecureClient to work (at the moment; taken from https://intercom-help.eu/EAL-Connect-Support/en/articles/160069-secureclient-cannot-be-opened-until-windows-text-suggestions-are-disabled-how-can-i-resolve-this-to-launch-the-software)
