How to turn on the automatic prompt function of PowerShell?

Question

I don't know what happened when I was using PowerShell.My PowerShell suddenly had an automatic completion function, but I don't know how I opened it.

I suspect this is running a certain command or using a shortcut key. But before running this feature, I only used ls and dir.

My version of PowerShell is 7.3.5.

What you're seeing is the Predictive IntelliSense feature introduced in v2.1 of the PSReadLine module, which ships with recent versions of PowerShell (Core) 7+ (but you're always free to install the latest version via Install-Module PSReadLine -Scope CurrentUser, for instance).

To disable this feature, place the following Set-PSReadLineOption in your $PROFILE file:

Set-PSReadLineOption -PredictionSource None
