Do you have a specific example of a path that doesn't work? "Input something and press tab... Adding some spaces like Microsoft word" isn't really specific enough. Usually when you're in a directory that's got a child file/dir with spaces, cmd should automatically wrap it in spaces, like so:

Example: i wanna change directory from C:\ to C:\Windows
Expected Behavior: cd W then Tab it will become cd Windows
Actual Behavior: cd W
Note: It's happening on all directories. and in only cmd inside terminal. nor powershell inside terminal nor cmd inside conhost

Is there anything in the following two reg keys?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor

it should look something like:
