The autocomplete for the IE Address bar no longer works
after installing the latest security update. I used to
be able to type in the first few characters of the
website I wanted to go to and it would automatically fill
in if I'd been there before. Now I have to type the
entire web address even though the correct website
appears in the pull down if I look for it there. I tried
the registry fix for Address bar search that was posted
here but it did not correct the autocomplete issue.
 
George,
From Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing, is "Use inline AutoComplete"
checked?

Yes it is checked. I even unchecked it. Clicked apply.
Rechecked it. Clicked apply. Shut down and then
restarted. Still no inline auto complete.
