Hi there R,

First of all, check if auto complete is enabled.
Open IE-> Tools-> Internet Options-> Content tab and click Auto Complete.

Furthermore you may try also these steps:

Ctrl + Enter no longer adds www and .com

Using Regedit, browse to the following registry key and make sure the noted
setting is correct:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoCo
mplete]
"Append Completion"="yes"

You will also see the following values:

"Use AutoComplete"="yes"
"AutoSuggest"="no"

 HTH
