Answer 1

I had what seemed like a similar issue, in my case another program was stealing the "Cntr+SPACE" combo, by registering a global short-cut in Windows.

You could test this by going to Tools -> Options -> Keymap, search for "Show Code Completion Popup".

If it is not assigned to Cntrl + Space , set it to Cntrl + Space and see if that fixes it. If it is already assigned to Cntr + Space, assign it to something else and see if the newly assigned shortcut works.
