Default Which Windows 10 switch *remembers* Run commands?

Thanks for that super not obvious suggestion which can only be borne from
experience that you had that I did not have!


At the moment, I'm tentatively anointing Bob as a genius ... because it
does appear to work and it does not appear to show most recently used
"apps" ... so it's confusing ... which is why you're the genius...

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
Commands typed into "start run" were not remembered.

SOLUTION SUMMARY:
Start Settings PC Settings Personalization Start

To turn off start-run memory, turn off "Show most used apps".

This disables the reverse-order fedcba memory in the registry key:
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\RunMRU

This enables the reverse-order fedcba memory in the registry key:

Hopefully, it doesn't show any idiotic "recently used apps" icons!
