Try deleting ~/.cache/dmenu_run and then running dmenu again.

Re: dmenu doesn't autocomplete anymore

Hi. How are you running dmenu_run?  Did you bind it to a key or alias or running dmenu_run in terminal? Show us how you execute dmenu. What have you done in the past week?  Just trying to brainstorm with you in hopes a solution appears.
