Disable AutoFill in Run and File Explorer in Windows 10

Ο of Windows 10 comes with a useful feature called Auto Suggestion. When enabled, it automatically displays suggested text that matches the letters you type in the Run window, in the File Explorer address bar, and in the Open and Save dialog boxes of applications.

This way you speed up your work and save time. Auto-recommendation can be enabled or disabled in File Explorer with a simple Registry setting on all modern operating systems, including Windows 10, Windows 8, and Windows 7.

Auto Suggest is enabled by default in Windows 10. When you start typing in the Execute dialog or the Explorer Address Bar, a list of suggested matches from the navigation history and commands is automatically displayed. You can save time by choosing a proposal made by Windows instead of having to type all the text.

If you find this feature annoying, or if you are IT in a company and you do not want Windows 10 employee computers to keep track of your own commands, you can disable it.

Step 1: Open Registry Editor. If you don't know how, press the Win + X keys at the same time and in the window which will appear write and press the OK button.

Step 5: Close the registry editor. Your job will be saved automatically.
Step 6: Sign out of your account and sign back in. Alternatively, you can restart Explorer.
