According to Microsoft, the Windows Terminal is anticipated to replace Windows 11 as the main command-line application in 2022. The legacy Windows Console Host is still the default interface for running Command Prompt and PowerShell operations, even though the current Terminal software comes pre-installed on Windows 11.
Microsoft intends to make Windows Terminal the default experience for Windows 11 users by 2022, according to Kayla Cinnamon, a program manager for Windows Terminal at the business. It will begin with devices that are part of the Insider program and eventually be made available to everyone.
Version 1.0 of Windows Terminal, an application created to provide a command-line experience for running Linux, PowerShell, and Command Prompt, was first released in May 2020. In contrast to the Windows Console Host, the Terminal offers a plethora of new capabilities, including tabs and panes, as well as the ability to customize various profiles.
Additionally, the application offers numerous customization options, such as the ability to employ unique themes. Custom typefaces and distinctive color schemes can be used with acrylic backdrops and background photos. Additionally, custom key bindings are supported.
Additionally, the new command-line experience enables a speedier app experience by employing GPU accelerated rendering for text. This feature makes it feasible to use emojis.
The option to make Windows Terminal the new default command-line interface is already accessible for Windows 11 and Windows 10 users, even though the change won’t take place until sometime in 2022.
