In Windows10 cmd.exe /f:on CTRL-F does a find and not a Filename completion

Question

_{Sunday, August 23, 2015 9:36 PM}

In Windows7,or 8, cmd /f:on open a command line window where CTRL-D does a completion for the directory name and CTRL-F does a completion for the filenames. But in Windows10 CTRL-F does open a FIND dialog box. So how do I get the filename completion in Windows10? (preferably without having to mess with regedit)

I have found it. The shortcut key for filename (and directory) completion in a windows10 command line opened with option /f:on is CTRL-SHIFT-F instead of CTRL-F.

Hmm not something I had seen before, but have noticed in Windows 10 if you bring up the windows menu and a command window, click top left or press alt+space and select Defaults and at the bottom select Use legacy console (requires relaunch). Then close and re-open the command prompt, does the cmd /f:on work as previously in Windows 10?
