Default terminal
You can now set the Windows Terminal stable build as your default terminal emulator if you’re on the Windows Insider Program Dev Channel or Windows 11! This means when you launch any command line application, it will automatically launch inside Windows Terminal. You can enable Windows Terminal as your default experience by using the Windows settings app or inside Windows Terminal’s settings.
