I use Apple's Notes app on my Mac regularly. Its auto-correct and auto-capitalize features are not working for me since 2-3 months. Don't know why and how it happened. All the relevant settings are placed in the System Preferences → Keyboard → Text. See the screenshot.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions to solve this. Writing is a bit tough without these features.
I run macOS Monterey 12.2.
Mac mini, macOS 12.2
In the Notes > Edit menu > Spelling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar panel, is the language set to Automatic by Language, or your explicit language? Ensure that it is set to your specific language if it is not. Check the adjacent grammar box too.
Then, also select in the Edit menu > Spelling and Grammar > Check Grammar with Spelling, and Correct Spelling Automatically.
The ability of an application to automatically apply those changes shown on the posted Keyboard > Text panel must be programmed into the application so it can detect them. By now, Notes should have that capability.

First - good suggestion by previous person on setting up another user account to test.
Since the issue does Not Appear in " dummy " account >>
Suggest downloading the Application Etrecheck directly from a well Respected ASC Contributor. And Safe to use.
The application is free or paid from added features.
Run the application with Full Disc Access ( Security & Privacy - Full Disc Access ).
It will take a Snap Shot - both the hardware and software.
The Report will Not Reveal Any Personal Information.
Post back the Full Report - copy and paste - using the Additional Text Icon ( 3rd Icon to last )
We can have a look at the report for possible issues and may have possible suggestions to resolve the issues.
Any Third Party Applications that will interfere with the normal operation of the OS, alter, modify, remove or delete or attempt to do so is an invitation for disaster and may require a Reinstallation of the OS.
This includes AntiVirus, Disk Cleaners, Disk Optimizes, UnInstaller etc.
This will included Norton Antivirus
The The Built in Security is all that is required.
Hi gautamlakum,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you’re having trouble with auto-correct and auto-capitalize not working in Notes on your Mac. We’re happy to help.
We suggest testing in a different user account to see if the issue persists: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac
Let us know the results.
Take care.
@bailier Yes, it worked in a different user account. But to solve this in my current user account?
Is there some Third Party software installed like https://www.grammarly.com
I installed Grammarly's Mac app, but then uninstalled within a few minutes.
And how was it application removed ?
Sometimes Drag and Drop will work and sometime the Developer has specific Instructions to remove the application.
They may even offer their own uninstaller.
If elements still read on the computer - it may or may not be the cause of this issue.
@P. Phillips I don't remember how I uninstalled it. But don't know how to resolve this issue now. :(
