  1. Run command not saving the history of commands used


    I bought refurbished Dell 5050 and noticed a difference from old Dell - both used Windows 10 Pro. When I use the run command, it does not put in the last used command automatically. My old Dell 7010 running Windows 10 Pro would display last used command but now each time I open "run" the box is empty. How can I turn this feature on?

  2. Command history in Run dialog

    Hello,



    Thank you for getting back to us with an update.



    With your description, we tried to reproduce the issue and noticed the same. We can
    only see the last 26 executed run commands from the list, and it’s as per the design. However we don't have any manual option that displays all executed run commands with enabled scroll bar. Moreover it will still display
    the other run command when you start typing them into it, even though it won't display in that 26 executed run commands list.



    Suggest you to post your feedback in this regard using Windows Feedback app, which helps us to improve you experience.



    I appreciate your cooperation in this regard.



    Keep us posted if you require any assistance with Windows.

    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:

    Run command not saving the history of commands used [​IMG]
    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?

    GPU-Z what command line parameter ?

    Suggestion: /? (-?) and /help (-help) command-line arguments to show a list of all possible arguments in a small window. *Smile Run command not saving the history of commands used :)
