My issue is similar to the one mentioned here: Disable spell checking in Internet Explorer 10 (Windows 8)

I am using Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit


What I've tried already:

Deactivating the spelling options:

From the following, borrowed screenshot from the old Windows 8 (my interface is German, therefore I couldn't create one myself), I have turned both options off and restarted IE. It's still "correcting" my texts.

PC Settings

Searching for 'spelling correction' addons:

The indicated option in the following borrowed screensnot does not exist on my PC. IE Addons

Is there any way of disabling it? I prefer a canonical solution if one is available. If not, I am also interested in registry hacks or other solutions.
