Seeing as it doesn't happen when using a VPN i'm thinking it's possible the URL required for search suggestions is being blocked by your ISP for some reason.

 

When you type into the address bar do you get search suggestions there as well with and without VPN?

Didn't answer the last question, but anyway... When not using the VPN, can you do the following:

Open a cmd window (Start > Run > cmd.exe)
Enter the command, ping api.bing.com, press Enter and post the information that shows. It should look similar to the following:

Pinging api.bing.com [191.234.5.80] with 32 bytes of data:

If it doesn't and you get any sort of error then it's probably being blocked by a firewall rule, which should be fixable. Or your ISP, which if this is the case then there is nothing that can be done.
