How do I enable spell checking in Notepad++?

This question from 4 years ago claims that Notepad++ has spell checking enabled by default. This doesn't seem to be the case anymore, as I haven't been able to find any sign of a spell check option in Notepad++ v7.5.1.



How can I re-enable spell checking in Notepad++?

          There are several spell checkers available as plug-ins to Notepad++. You can add them via the Plugin Manager or manually by downloading them from the resources page and then extracting them to your Notepad++ install folder.



          It seems the original default spell check was removed due to it occasionally causing crashes with Windows 10. The original spell check function was
          DSpellCheck.

          Follow the link http://aspell.net/win32/ and download and install both files Full installer and the precompiled dictionary for English aspell-en-<VERSION>.exe (or any other available language). Now you can access the spell checker from the menu Plugins > Spell-Checker > Spell-Checker... (If Spell-Checker plugin does not show up on the menu, install it by using the Plugin Manager).
