    How to make win+r box remember previous commands


    I always found it annoying when ever I pressed Win+R to enter a run command that it did not remember previous commands.

    I put this down to a bug as other devices remembered them ok.

    I finally found out the cause.

    You have set the switch in Privacy, General to allow Windows to track app launches to on!

    What seriously dumb design - who on earth thought this was a good idea - the switch is unrelated to this run box!!!
