Arrow up / history broken on cmd #33

After applying the dark color scheme (including the registry update) when I open cmd and enter a command, then press the up arrow key, I only get a blank line and not the last command. If I open cmd via Win+R everything is working as it should, and the colors are still solarized (I guess for that case it uses the registry settings and not the updated shortcut .lnk). I reproduced this on two Windows 10 machines. EDIT: On PowerShell this problem does not appear.

PowerShell on Windows 10 machines should be using PSReadline, so this would be why the command history is intact. CMD itself doesn't have command history and I believe this is usually provided by the doskey app in the same directory as $ComSpec, usually C:\Windows\System32.

I have the issue with up arrow key in cmd shortcut, too But if I open cmd via Win+R, the colors are not solarized. Do you have any clue?

I had the same issue and fixed it by setting "buffer size" and "number of buffers" to 10 in the command prompt properties. You then need to re-open the command prompt window.
