Automatic update of what?
Are your Contacts missing from your Contacts folder or just the address book
view of your Contacts Folder?
Any messages when you first start Outlook? Which version is it?

Please help me find all my contacts that are no longer in my address book.
I
don't know how to stop automatic updates and after one, I tried to open
Outlook and got message that it was preparing it for first use!!! Now my
contacts are gone. Please explain what to do next. Thank you so much.
