MATLAB: How to turn on the function hint

functionhint function syntax tab command

Hi!
As I know by default the function syntax hint is already on, but when I am typing in command window nothing showing up. I check in Preferences option making sure that the function hint is enabled.
I tried to re-install the MATLAB still doesn't work.
Please help.

Syntax hinting and function completion are available in both the Command Window and Editor, and are on by default:

The documentation states:
"To use function syntax hints, type a function name with an opening parenthesis, and then pause. A tooltip opens showing the basic syntax for the function"
"To complete names in the Command Window, type the first few characters of the name you want to complete, and then press the Tab key."
The documentation also tell us how to turn it on and off: "Function hints are enabled by default. To change this setting, on the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Preferences. Select MATLAB > Keyboard, and then set the options for Function hints."
