after the last windows 10 Update there are no more suggestions in my windows dialogs. Currently I had to enable inline autocomplete to have anything available but I'm just not shown anything else.

Any idea how to enable this again?

Sample: I'm missing this: (not actual screenshot, sample taken of the web) Image Instead there is no box (at the bottom of the file space) displayed at all.

[EDIT] http://www.crlf.ch/sample/missingSuggestions.jpg As you can see the suggestions/history box is missing completely. This is also the case in save dialogs of firefox/chrome and such.

  • And do you see any files that match the already given characters in that same directory in your save-dialog? A screenshot from the web isn't useful. We need to see what YOU see.

  • My guess if you give it time it will work, but the list was cleared, due to how the installation of the update works (I.e I am saying this is expected behavior)

  • Search indexing is finished: crlf.ch/sample/missingSuggestions.jpg I've activated inline autocomplete to work around temporarily.

  • @s.i.d Yikes, that's annoying. B.T.W. it's not a combined suggestions/history box. The history sits in the down-arrow drop-down-box at the right (and should stil work). The suggestion drop-up/down is a completely different one and used for possible file-matches (suggestions). In that other screenshot you can also see the suggestion drop-up/down box is just a little but less wide. When you use the history dropdown you'll see it's as wide as the edit-box itself (while the suggestion-box is not).

(Ok, I'm going to move the discussion into an answer because I've found a setting which might cause you your problems)

I think your "Auto Suggest" is turned off somehow. You can check this by doing this:

  • Open Internet Explorer
  • Click/tap on Tools (Menu bar)
  • Click on Internet Options
  • Click/tap on the Content tab
  • Click/tap on the Settings button under AutoComplete (see screenshot below)

Internet Options > AutoComplete settings

You can check if the settings are the same as mine. If they are not, then that's the problem. (For me, unticking the "Address bar" checkbox gave me the exact symptoms you have)
