Humm, Try Re-Starting your computer. Sometimes that will fix a host of problems.

Still not enough Everett but closer. RTF is simply a document format, not a program. I expect you are using Microsoft Word and writing and saving in RTF???
There should be a setting that 'toggles" the spell check setting as "on".
In Windows, spell checking is done via a common file called a .dll file---stands for dynamic link library. .dll files handle tasks common to all the various Windows programs and components.
Each individual program like excel, word, access, powerpoint etc has controls that tell that a .dll file what to do. For example, you can spell check the entire file, just a word etc.
In your case, make sure the "automatic" setting is on.
It's why I asked if it still spell checks when you ask it to. If nor, perhaps the .dll file is corrupt, or there is some Win10 glitch. I still use Win7 Professional.
To set the options in Word, go to File (extreme left on top meny, go to the bottom of the list to Options, and go to Proofing. That is where you set your global spell check options in Word.

I'm using Microsoft Word. I open that file and checked properties of the page I was putting the lyrics on, and I noticed something a little different than the other pages, then I noticed I had spelled the name of that page wrong, I corrected it and then checked if it would work, I spelled a word wrongly and sure enough it underlined it in red, which it would not do before. It's working now, so that must have had something to do with it, I'm happy. Thanks for taking time to make suggestions as to what the problem was.
