title: Autocomplete stopped working on SSMS 2016
body: <p><strong>Autocomplete stopped working</strong> some while ago for me. Intellisense seems to be otherwise working.</p>
  
  <p>I tried everything mentioned <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31580885/intellisense-is-not-working-at-sql-server-management-studio">here</a>:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Tools >> Options >> Text Editor >> Transact-SQL >> IntelliSense, and
  Enable IntelliSense is selected</li>
  <li>Refreshed IntelliSense local cache: both Edit >> IntelliSense >> Refresh Local Cache or the CTRL+Shift+R keyboard shortcut to refresh</li>
  <li>Enabled statement completion: please go to Tools >> Options >> Text Editor >> Transact-SQL >> General, and checked on Auto list members and Parameter information boxes</li>
  <li>Rebooted SQL Server Management Studio several times</li>
  <li>Checked that shortcut "CTRL+Space" is enabled for "Edit.CompleteWord" in Text Editor in Tools >> Options >> Environment >> Keyboard</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I have problem only with option:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>For each opening query window, please go to Query >> Intellisense Enabled</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>which is greyed out all the time:</p>

  <p>I do not know, whether it is connected to my issue, but it might be.</p>
  
  <p><strong>So, how do I enable Autocomplete again?</strong></p>
