Windows 10: Run Command Box not Auto-Saving Suggestions

I know the run box was saving my entries in the auto-suggestion menu when I first purchased my machine (system one) but I don't know when it stopped, a recent update perhaps?

This first snip shows my entry for regedit and the result after I tested three times to see if regedit would be saved and it wasn't, this happens with any CMD I try to run, if I open to click on a previous CMD I am presented with an empty suggestion box.





I searched and found a tutorial from @Brink on how to empty the suggestion box where the registry key is located and that result is shown in this snip, my registry key is super imposed on Shawn's .bat file:





From Shawn's win8 tutorial:


Note The auto suggestions history for the Run dialog are stored in the RunMRU registry key below. This is what the .bat file below will delete for you automatically to clear the history. The next time you open something from Run, the RunMRU key will automatically be recreated and will save the new history.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU
From the note would the general consensus be that if I delete that key it would jump start the auto-suggestion box into working again or would the problem lie elsewhere?

Surface pro 4 (I7) taskbar disappearing from screen after running apps

Hi Aaron,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand the inconvenience caused. I will be glad to assist you with this.

From what you have described, it looks like you have enabled the autohide taskbar option in the settings.

In order to identify if this is causing the issue, I would suggest you to try the steps below:

1. Press Windows key + R to open the run command.

2. Type control and press enter.

3. Type taskbar and navigation in the search box.

4. Open it and uncheck "auto-hide the taskbar" and save the changes.

Alternatively, you can drag the mouse at the bottom of the screen, if the taskbar slides up, right click on it and select "properties". Uncheck "auto-hide the taskbar" and save the changes.

Get back to us with the response.

 

Unable to install Microsoft Auto Collage 2008 apps on Windows 10

Microsoft Auto Collage 2008 apps will download from Microsoft site into "downloads" on my PC with no problem.

The Problem: When the Microsoft Auto Collage download is clicked to open for installation, a drop down box appears with the message "open with". This "open with" message box will not allow installing the download. All downloads should be opening with an
option that states "run or save" for installing the download.

Any suggestions as how to get my apps past this error and installed into my PC are welcomed.

Thank you

Dave

Hi, See
Turn On or Off Inline AutoComplete in File Explorer and Run Dialog Windows 10 General Tips Tutorials

& try this free reliable tweaker (for convenience):




Explanation link:
Enable Auto Completion in File Explorer in Windows 10 - Winaero

Note that auto-complete for Run is just one aspect addressed.

 

Thanks dalchina,

I tried the internet options and the registry key was there and set as Append Completion string value = yes as in the tutorial and even after a restart the run suggestion box wouldn't save the previous entry.

I'm pretty busy all this morning and won't be able to look into the winaero tweaker until later this afternoon.

 

I checked out the winaero tweaker and explanation link and see no difference in what is offered here, except the fact that winaero wants the user to sign-out and then sign-in to set the changes and I "thought" I did that by restarting the machine.

I'd rather stay away from starting a "sign-out / sign-in routine".

 

For me it was pretty simple. I noticed how I disabled "Let Windows track app launches to improve start and search results" under General in Privacy Settings. If I enabled that again, my previous results would appear but I'm gonna have to retype it once atleast for it to save again

Thanks iDamn,

I'm on my 7box now or I'd try that, and I will when things calm down here, maybe 6 more hours. Nothing serious just catching up on some odds and ends that crept up this past week.

I'll try it before a couple of things I thought of: Need to see what the wife's Code: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU[/quote] keys looks like, her machine is almost the same as mine (system two in my specs).

And I notice MRUList is always in a good key, here's mine from this 7box:




I'm thinking if I create a MRUList sub-key that might jump start populating the list, if not I'll try adding the others like Code: e reg_sz regedit\1[/quote]
Would sure like to know what the base cause of this is, almost has to be an update. *Sad

Thanks Shawn!

 

That did the trick iDamn! I have my suggestion box back. Thank You!

And thanks to all that pitched in!
