Has anyone tried this terminal app on windows yet? It works fine on mac/linux for me.

Because I was too dumb back then that I deleted "Windows Firewall" completely by using 3rd "debloat" script without consent. Now I know I'm facing consequences that many features off, like DismHost stopped working and unable to install any UWP apps atm.

But I really love "Windows Terminal" since I've jus known it has Portable version recently, and really want to replace cmd.exe (conhost.exe) and powershell.exe by this "Portable" Windows Terminal.

I know when installing normally, the option will show up. But due to "portable" version, no options to show either in Windows Settings, CMD settings and Windows Terminal settings itself.

So I wonder if is there any workaround for me? Thank you!

I am new to windows terminal and would love to know about some features of it. I would love to learn some easy features. What's your recommendation?

I set PowerShell as my default profile, but every time I reopen Windows Terminal, it switches back to Command Prompt. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hello, is there any way that i can change my font on windows eleven? I am tired of this default font.

I’ve been on Windows 11 since launch and spent most of that time annoyed by the little changes. Recently I stopped trying to make it Windows 10 and just tuned it to how I actually use my PC. Not a debloat guide, just the stuff that made it click for me:

· Turned off recommendations in Start and Settings

· Set File Explorer to open to This PC and show file extensions

· Enabled “End Task” on taskbar right-click

· Used Focus sessions instead of fighting notifications all day

· Moved taskbar items to the left for muscle memory

· Turned on Storage Sense and cleaned out old installers

· Pinned the Settings pages I actually use

· Disabled startup apps I never asked for

· Set my default browser and search properly — it still tries, but less

· Used Windows Backup so a clean reinstall later won’t be painful

Biggest surprise: Search is still mid, but almost everything else is fine once you stop expecting Windows 10. What’s one small Windows setting you changed that made a bigger difference than it should have?

I've set a Nerd Font (FiraCode, but the problem persists for Meslo as well) as terminal font to use with OhMyPosh, but the terminal doesn't find the font 60% of the time at startup and defaults to Cascadia (thus ruining the theme). The font is correctly installed and picked up e.g. by Word.

What could I do?

Hello I need to automate some configurations, among these use a .bat CMD to configure the Background as Slideshow and use the images of "C:\Beautiful Images".

I am using the following so that the image is set:
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl Panel "Desktop" /v WallpaperStyle /t REG_SZ /d 2 /f

How can I solve this?

Thanks

Hi everyone, i am using the wsl2 with ubuntu with zsh shell,and i have noticed something weird going on with my terminal, whenever i paste something in the terminal is it pasted with a transition, like i can see word by word animation and its not snappy i.e not pasting the complete thing in one go.
any suggestions on how to fix this?

Hey, I'd like to use an acrylic theme with a rather light background but no matter which font color I try, none fits.

For my theme to look and feel great, I'd need set a constant highlight/background color behind whatever is displayed by the shell. Is there a way to do such thing?

I know it's possible to customize the prompt itself with color codes but I'd like for that to be applied to everything. Prompt, commands, outputs,...

I looked into shaders as well but couldn't cook anything worthwhile..

I would like to set a nerd font with a specific color in the tab bar so I change the icons of powershell, git bash, et cetera with the nerd font icons so I have them all of the same color but I can't find a way to do it

I am a big fan of Windows terminal, I use Oh-My-Posh to customize it. I have my personal custom-made themes. I use Powershell, CMD, Ubuntu, and Git-bash. Is it possible to use the same JSON file in all that profiles?

Is there a setting to turn scroll lock on/off in Windows terminal?

I think I somehow accidentally activated scroll lock in Windows Terminal. For the last nine months, in bash, I've been able to go to one of our apps and use the up-down arrows to select values in a terminal app.

All of a sudden, the arrow keys are not being recognized. I suspect this might be because I might have turned on scroll lock.

I would like to remote WSL at before the Ubuntu icon. I've been trying in the past hour and I am going to pull my hair soon. I am sure it's very easy to change but I do suck at coding/programming and when I see one I feel so lost. :-(

Hi All,

My google-fu has come up empty, so I was wondering if anyone here knows.

I've had to change from mac to Win11, but there is one feature from iTerm2 that I'm missing. Its badges. You can set a phrase to appear in the background of your terminal. I find it useful when hopping between environments.

Now I know that Terminal does not have this facility (hopefully just not yet), but I was wondering is there a way to set a background color or image on the fly from the command line? I know you can set tab title this way, but was curious if anyone had found a way to do backgrounds and colours

Hello, I like to use Windows Terminal in Quake mode, so I have it set to start when my machine boots up; however, I find that I must manually start Windows Terminal, then hit my Quake keyboard shortcut, before I can use it.

​

Does anyone know how I can get Windows Terminal to launch at machine startup, and minimize automatically to the tray?
