Windows Terminal able to replace Windows console host as default terminal.

[HenryTheTwelfth]

Just a heads-up that Windows Terminal is now able to be set (in it's settings) to the default terminal, replacing the aged Windows console host, which was introduced with Windows 7. This means that all of your command-line work and .exe running can all be done from Windows Terminal instead. No more small windows and fonts. No more setting the properties of the window only to be lost if something is updated. And now... Tabs!!! If you so desire (I do), you may have new terminal windows open up in a new tab, instead of a new window. Yay!

It is recommended that you obtain Windows Terminal through the Microsoft Store.

?But the Windows Terminal is already resident? In mine, anyway. It hasn't changed from earlier OS's

There are some customizations that can be made to the default Terminal
Click the "Settings" link or use the Down Arrow to select "Settings" from that menu

There's a reason I'm ignoring you. When you know what you are talking about, get back with me.

Sorry. Obviously a misunderstanding. I am still at a loss but might twig eventually

The penny dropped. I downloaded the "Windows terminal preview" I think that is what you meant. Still exploring, but, for the moment, I cannot see , in my own computer usage, having a lot of time with it. I am sure I am still missing something? Running it side by side with the existing Terminal and still trying to spot the differences. I am sure there are some.

Just examined it more carefully. I am on a red herring here! The app has been in circulation for while and , probably, did evolve to the now known Windows terminal. Just a guess. But then, I dont know what I am talking about
