It would be good to know where Emacs hangs. If you attach a debugger to it and show a backtrace, it could help fix this issue (with Emacs becoming not responsive; the problem with aspell is not something we could solve). If you can collect this info, please file a bug report with the data you collected. > Any idea about how to get hunspell working (at least with english)? Try using Hunspell from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/?source=navbar It comes with US English and UK English dictionaries. You should be able to say M-x ispell-change-dictionary RET en_US RET and get spelling with English. If you have Italian dictionaries, copy the it_IT.* dictionary files to the corresponding ITA.* files. The files should go to the share/hunspell subdirectory under the directory you installed Hunspell, the same place where you get en_US dictionaries after unzipping the Hunspell archive downloaded from the ezwinports site. Googling for "hunspell italian dictionaries" finds these URLs: https://github.com/titoBouzout/Dictionaries https://github.com/wooorm/dictionaries/tree/master/dictionaries http://www.softmaker.com/en/download/dictionaries If none of them seems to work for you, please tell which ones you tried, and I will try that on my machine, where Hunspell is working very well for me in Emacs with several different languages. Good luck! P.S. Hunspell has several bugs that its developers take years to fix, and some of them are still not fixed. They are all fixed in the above ezwinports port, but some other ports out there didn't fix them. This could be one reason why the MSYS2 port doesn't work for you. Or maybe you have some ispell.el customizations that get in the way. I suggest trying in "emacs -Q" first, with the only customization being the value of ispell-program-name.
