For more information, you could refer to this article: iTunes, Outlook Change Notifier add-in interfering with Auto-Complete. If I start Outlook with Win+R as outlook.exe /safe, Auto-Complete works normallyĬonsidering the add-ins and other customed settings would be disabled in safe mode, according to your description, it could work normally in safe mode, in order to first avoid the interference of add-ins, it's suggested to disable the add-ins manually to check(File>Options>Add-ins>COM-add-ins, Go>uncheck the add-ins).Īlso, based on my research, if you have iTunes Version 10.0.0.22, which also installs an add-in called Outlook Change Notifierit and it had several issues that caused Outlook to not shut down gracefully, causing AutoComplete to not work correctly. Have this issue occurred only recently? If so, have you performed any special operations before it(install any add-ins or update)? Hi Outlook, my Auto-Complete stopped working WARNING - “Independent Advisors” should NOT post here unless they have the precise answer to my question, If I get generic stupidity, I will report you to the moderator. Why do you think I am having this Auto-Complete problem in Outlook, and how to fix? Yes, I have tried all the basic things to fix the Auto-Complete issue, like turning it off and on in Options and even clearing it. The process(es) won’t stop unless I “End” them manually or reboot. One more clue - whenever I close (exit) Word, Excel or Outlook, its process continues to run in Task Manager.

FYI - yesterday, I hid my Normal.dotm, reinstated the default Normal.dotm and rebooted, but Outlook still had the problems I am describing. Yes, the original normal.dot from Word 2003 was “Converted” to be usable in Word 2016 as Normal.dotm. Its genesis is Word 2003 from another firm, and I have a lot of customizations in it. My IT guys - whom I torture enough - think my custom Normal.dotm in Word might be the culprit. If I start Outlook with Win+R as outlook.exe /safe, Auto-Complete works normally, but I can no longer double-click on a From or To name in a received email and see the underlying address, etc.

However, it WILL send emails with my typed partial names if they start out correctly - it just won’t show me the Auto-Complete. In Outlook, my Auto-Complete stopped working - when I start typing names in To or cc, Outlook does not complete them as it used to do. At work, my Outlook 2016 32-bit has problems, and my IT guys say they probably stem from the custom Normal.dotm I have in Word.
