Since installing Windows 10 Creators Update (version 1703), history dialog in Run command not storing previous searches

There is a similar post to this but does not work with my system. The previous suggestion was to turn on Start > Settings > Personalisation > Start > Show most used apps. Unfortunately, that option is set to Off and greyed out.

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU does not show the list either. it is empty.

I was running Windows 10 version 1703, and recently updated to the Redstone 3 Preview build 16170.

Any other suggestions?

Solution 1:

OK problem solved, they moved the activator.

It is now at Settings> Privacy> General> Let Windows track App Launches which has to be On.
