Console differences: Win7 vs. Win10

[vefatica]

I have a plugin command SCROLL. The command SCROLL vp (vertical/previous) does this.

SendMessage(hWndConsole, WM_VSCROLL, MAKEWPARAM(SB_PAGEUP, 0), NULL);

Consider this command line, issued when the prompt is at the bottom of the console window.

CLS & SCROLL vp

In Win7, the net result is that the prompt is in the same place (window bottom) and the output, now missing a page, has been scrolled down to just above it.

In Win10, the net result is the same as if I had done only CLS; that is, the prompt is at the top of the window (with the old output above and missing a page).

What's the difference and how can I get the Win7 behavior in Win10?

Thanks!

I should add:
1. Win7 is 32-bit and Win10 is 64-bit
2. In Win10, "CLS & SCROLL vp & delay 2" shows that the scrolling does happen but it's undone when the prompt is issued.

The difference has nothing to do with the SCROLL plugin. It can be seen by issuing

CLS & delay 10

and, during the delay, manually scrolling to the previous page. On Win7/32 it stays scrolled when the prompt is issued; on Win10/64 it doesn't.
