Having an upgraded German Windows 10 with latest Fast Ring.
I experience that the "Run" dialog that appears when pressing Win+R always has a blank history of previously ran commands.
This behaviour started right from the beginning, after upgrading Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 and never changed even for the latest Fast Ring update.
My question:
Is there any option/trick to make the history of (successfully) ran commands work again?

It sounds like the auto-suggestions and auto complete features were turned off, turn it on through following settings.
There were many ways to achieve it
You could turn on recent searches on:
Right click on the Start button, and click on Properties.
Ensure store and display recently opened programs in start menu it will also enable the start menu and recent command history
Else you could modify it through registry editor:
Open the Start Menu, type regedit press Enter.
In regedit, navigate to the location below. (see screenshot below)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoComplete
