Windows Terminal
Windows Terminal 1.24.11911.0 is a modern host for PowerShell, Command Prompt, WSL and SSH with tabs, panes, Unicode rendering, themes and JSON settings.
What Windows Terminal provides
Windows Terminal is a host interface rather than a shell itself. It opens PowerShell, Command Prompt, WSL, SSH and other profiles in tabs and panes, while each profile keeps its own command, starting directory, font and permission behavior.
Configuration and recovery
The settings file can define profiles, key bindings, appearance and startup commands. Back up the working settings before editing, change one group at a time, and keep ordinary sessions separate from administrator sessions.

Windows Terminal settings, tabs, panes and permissions guide
Open PowerShell, CMD and optional WSL profiles with ordinary permissions first, then back up settings and customize the layout incrementally.
Before you start
- Confirm Windows 10 version 2004 build 19041 or later and an x64 system.
- Record the paths of PowerShell, CMD, WSL and SSH tools without removing the system defaults.
- Back up settings.json or the current configuration before pasting any new settings.
Installation steps
- 01
Extract the x64 package
Verify Windows Terminal 1.24.11911.0 and the x64 ZIP, extract it to a fixed folder, and keep the package directory structure intact.
- 02
Check discovered profiles
Open settings and verify the names, command lines and starting directories for PowerShell, CMD and WSL before changing defaults.
- 03
Set a default shell and font
Select the daily shell, choose a font that displays Chinese and required symbols, and test Unicode, copy and paste behavior.
Quick start
- 01
Practice tabs and panes
Open ordinary PowerShell, CMD and optional WSL tabs, then practice splitting, focus switching and closing without mixing working directories.
- 02
Set directories and appearance
Give each profile an explicit name, starting directory and icon, placing shared values in defaults instead of duplicating conflicting entries.
- 03
Back up and validate JSON
Save a copy before each change and restore the latest valid version if the JSON fails to parse rather than resetting every setting.
Usage tips
- A profile command line can execute a script whenever a tab opens, so only use commands that are understood and maintained.
- Administrator tabs grant elevated rights to their shells and commands. Keep ordinary sessions as the default and elevate only for a clear task.
- Scrollback and command history can contain tokens, paths and server names; redact them before sharing logs or screenshots.
Troubleshooting and uninstall
Why does a profile close immediately?
Check its command line, executable path, starting directory and environment, then run the command in an ordinary shell to separate profile errors from application errors.
Why are Chinese characters displayed incorrectly?
Choose a font with the required glyphs, confirm the shell encoding and test a small sample before changing global rendering settings.
- Export settings and profile notesSave settings.json, custom profiles, key bindings and the list of shell paths before removing the portable package.
- Remove the package after verificationClose all terminal sessions, remove the extracted folder through the operating system, and keep the configuration backup separately.
Frequently asked questions
Is Windows Terminal the same as PowerShell or CMD?
No. It is a terminal host for shells such as PowerShell, CMD, WSL and SSH; the selected shell executes the commands.
Which Windows versions are supported?
The project requires Windows 10 version 2004, build 19041, or later for the referenced package. Confirm the release notes for a specific distribution.
Does the ZIP package update automatically?
A portable or manually downloaded ZIP usually needs a manual update check. Back up settings before replacing it and distinguish stable builds from preview channels.
