Office 365 Domain Disable AutoComplete Option
I have a client that would like to disable Outlook's Auto-Complete for the whole domain.
Running Office 365 ProPlus Version 2002 (Build 12527.21104)
Is there a way either by scripting or registry edit to disable the "Use Auto-Complete" option? I've already looked in the registry. We can instruct the users to disable the option but would like to set a policy to enforce the setting.

Looking back and checking my registry, try reg path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\PreferencesNote the underlined key in the path. This is key (pun intended).
MS seems to have resolved the problem within the last few months. However only one of the registry paths work, which probably is how MS had intended it. I believe the path is the one off of Policy but it has been a while so I forget exactly which.
Just use the reg key:
REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Preferences" /t REG_DWORD /v ShowAutoSug /d 0 /fVasilMichev Doesn't seem to work with latest version of Outlook from Office 365.
I have version
Microsoft® Outlook® for Microsoft 365 MSO (16.0.14026.20270) 64-bit
I've been testing it by editing my PC's registry directly then restarting Outlook, didn't make a difference. The setting under Options was still checked and able to be changed.
Technically they call it version 19, even though it has a version base of 16 with additional updates that raises the sub-build #.
Would that make a difference?
Does registry setting work for anyone with the same build as mine?- Yep i'm having exact same issue on mine:
Microsoft® Outlook® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2110 Build 16.0.14527.20234) 64-bit
