Hi @Crystal Lam,

Good day! Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum and sharing the detail. 

Regarding the location suggestions not popping up when adding a location in your Outlook calendar, this feature is usually available but can sometimes be disabled due to specific settings or updates. 

Here are a few things you can try to bring this feature back: 

  • Open Outlook and go to File > Options > Account > Account Privacy, then check if “Enable optional connected experiences” is turned on. 
    • If you are unable to find these settings under Account Privacy, you can also check these steps: 
    • Go to File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy settings and look for "Turn on optional connected experiences."

  • Make sure Windows Location Services are enabled. You can do this by opening Windows settings, searching for “Location,” and ensuring it's switched on for your device.  User's image
  • Restart Outlook after making the above changes. 
  • If you’re on a company-managed computer, there might be policies in place that control this feature. If the above steps don’t work, it’s a good idea to contact your IT support team to check if any restrictions are set. 

Please try these steps and let me know if the suggestions start appearing again, or if you need further assistance.
