Set-PSReadlineOption -HistorySaveStyle SaveAtExit not working on Windows 10 build 10162

[rkeithhill]

This option hasn't been working in the last couple of Windows 10 builds dating back to build 10130 I think. I can workaround this for now by not using this option and letting it save incrementally.

I don't think it works correctly on Windows 7 either. I recently started using -SaveAtExit with the latest builds and my history wasn't saved at all.

@gwojan Thanks for confirming the issue.

@rkeithhill Can you please confirm if this is still an issue with the latest PSReadLine module?

@daxian-dbw AFAICT nothing is saved in the history file if you use SaveAtExit. 🤷‍♂️

@rkeithhill Thanks for checking and confirming.

same issue, 2.2.5 and win11.

I've tested this command with PowerShell 5.1 and 7.3 on Windows 11. Is this the expected behavior?

PowerShell Version \ exit by	exit command	close console window
5.1	not save	not save
7.3	not save	save

I tested this and have had the following behaviors with PSReadline 2.3.3 and Windows 11:

PowerShell Version \ exit by	exit command	close console window	close console window Terminal
5.1	not save	save	save
7.3	not save	save	save

Personally I would expect history to be saved when exit is typed, unsure if this is a technical limitation @daxian-dbw?

Also I get no history saved when I do SaveAtExit on Mac.
