We use SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2. IntelliSense works with SA account perfectly. But it is not working with Windows Authentication user. The user has access master db with db_owner role but it's not sysadmin.

How do I fix this issue?

I had the same issue. Everything was enabled to ensure proper Intellisense functions, but didn't work. I realized I had SQLCMD mode enabled by default. Disabling it restored Intellisense functionality :)
