iTunes, Outlook Change Notifier add-in interfering with Auto-Complete
iTunes also installs an add-in called Outlook Change Notifier. If you have iTunes Version 10.0.0.22, it had several issues that caused Outlook to not shut down gracefully, causing AutoComplete to not work correctly. Updating your iTunes software to version 10.1.0.56 or newer will take care of the Outlook Change Notifier issue.
If you no longer use iTunes or want to manually disable the add-in:
From within Outlook, click File > Options and select Add-Ins.

Scroll down the list until you find “Outlook Change Notifier” and un-check it.
