    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Starting the cmdshell.bat then starting "octave -Wq" and pressing Ctrl-D to
exit fails to write the history.
Might be caused by the HOME-variable not being set in the terminal
Setting the HOME variable by hand (export HOME=....) causes the file to be
saved in the $HOME directory.
Using the zip-file on windows 10

bash-3.1$ octave -Wq
bash-3.1$ octave:1>
error: writing file 'C:\.octave_hist': Permission denied
error: ignoring const octave::execution_exception& while preparing to exit

Might also be related to this old bug #41131
