The default terminal of Windows 11 is "Windows Terminal" ~ 2022

On December 14 (local time), Microsoft has announced a policy to change the default terminal app to Windows 11 in 2020 to Windows Terminal.

The default terminal refers to the so -called "black screen" that appears when the command line (CUI) application is opened.In the case of Windows, the default terminal has been "Windows Console Host" (CONHOST ".It was EXE), and "command prompt" and "PowerShell" were opened.There was a third -party terminal that replaces the console host by hooking the OS process (a mechanism to insert additional processing), but it is not prepared as an OS standard function.

However, in Windows 11, this mechanism has been improved internally, and when released in October, the function to replace the default terminal other than the "Windows Console Host" was officially implemented."Windows Terminal" is a tab UI, so even if you use multiple CUI apps, the desktop does not scatter.

Windows 11 can be set to the default terminal, but in the official version

The default terminal of "Windows Terminal" is first tested in Windows 11, a preview version of "Windows Insider Program".Without a major problem, the range of provisions will gradually increase, and it will eventually be provided in the product version.

In addition, if you are interested, you may manually manually use "Windows Terminal" as a default terminal.It can be changed from the "Windows Terminal" setting screen and the "Settings" application [Privacy and Security] -[Developer] section.

The "Windows Terminal" (both the product version and the preview version) has been updated on the 14th, but the content is only the defect correction and the "Cascadia Code" font update.The addition of new functions is expected to be next year.
