Fix: Run Command History Not Saved in Windows 10 or 11
The Run dialog in Windows stores the commands, folder paths, and website addresses you typed. The entries are saved to the registry and persist until you manually clear them.
Cause
If the Run dialog (Winkey + R) doesn’t retain the recently used command history (a.k.a. MRU entries), it can be due to the following reasons:
- The “Show most used apps” option is disabled in the Start menu settings.
- The
ClearRecentDocsOnExitregistry value is set to1. - The user recently cleared the Quick Access history. Doing so erases the Run command history, as well.
