To clear all the history from the Run dialog box (Win + R) in Windows, you can use the following methods:

### Method 1: Using Windows Registry Editor

1. **Press Win + R**, type `regedit`, and press **Enter** to open the Registry Editor.

2. Navigate to the following path:

   ```

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU

   ```

3. In the `RunMRU` folder, you’ll see a list of entries labeled with letters (e.g., **a, b, c**).

4. **Select and delete all these entries** (except the "(Default)" key, which you can leave untouched).

5. **Close the Registry Editor**. Your Run dialog history will now be cleared.

### Method 2: Using a Third-Party Cleaner (Optional)

Tools like **CCleaner** also provide options to clear Run dialog history along with other temporary files and cache. Make sure to review the settings carefully if using a third-party cleaner.

### Method 3: Using Command Prompt (Advanced)

You can also use the Command Prompt to clear the Run history by deleting specific keys in the Registry, but this method is generally more complex and not as direct as using the Registry Editor.

After using any of these methods, your Run dialog history should be cleared.
