Download Terminal Windows 10
Anna Pybus
Windows Terminal is a modern host application for the command-line shells you already love, like Command Prompt, PowerShell, and bash (via Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)). Its main features include multiple tabs, panes, Unicode and UTF-8 character support, a GPU accelerated text rendering engine, and the ability to create your own themes and customize text, colors, backgrounds, and shortcuts.
Any application that has a command line interface can be run inside Windows Terminal. This includes everything from PowerShell and Command Prompt to Azure Cloud Shell and any WSL distribution such as Ubuntu or Oh-My-Zsh.
You can configure your Windows Terminal to have a variety of color schemes and settings. To learn how to customize your prompt with cool themes, see Tutorial: Set up a custom prompt for PowerShell or WSL with Oh My Posh To learn how to make your own color scheme, visit the Color schemes page.
You can set Windows Terminal to launch in a specific configuration using command line arguments. You can specify which profile to open in a new tab, which folder directory should be selected, open the terminal with split window panes, and choose which tab should be in focus.
For example, to open Windows Terminal from PowerShell with three panes, with the left pane running a Command Prompt profile and the right pane split between your PowerShell and your default profile running WSL, enter:
We are beyond excited to announce Windows Terminal! Windows Terminal is a new, modern, fast, efficient, powerful, and productive terminal application for users of command-line tools and shells like Command Prompt, PowerShell, and WSL.
Windows Terminal will be delivered via the Microsoft Store in Windows 10 and will be updated regularly, ensuring you are always up to date and able to enjoy the newest features and latest improvements with minimum effort.
You will also have the option of using our new font! We wanted to create a fun, new, monospaced font to enhance the modern look and feel of the Terminal. Not only will this font include programming ligatures, but it will also be open sourced and have its own repository. Stay tuned for more information on the new font project!
Yes we did! We are excited to announce that we are open sourcing not just Windows Terminal, but also the Windows Console which hosts the command-line infrastructure in Windows and provides the traditional Console UX.
Windows Terminal installs and runs alongside the existing in-box Windows Console application. If you run Cmd/PowerShell/etc. directly, they will start attached to a traditional Console instance in the exact same way they do today. This way, backward compatibility remains intact while providing you the option of experiencing Windows Terminal if/when you wish to do so. Windows Console will continue to ship within Windows for decades to come in order to support existing/legacy applications and systems.
Instead, by creating a new open-source terminal application, and open-sourcing Windows Console, we can now invite the community to collaborate with us on improving the code and leveraging it in their respective projects.
We believe there is plenty of room in the market for new/different ideas about what a terminal can and should do and we aim to help the ecosystem of terminal (and related) applications flourish and grow through the introduction of new ideas, interesting approaches, and exciting innovations in this space.
Starting this summer, try installing and running Windows Terminal from the Microsoft Store. If you come across any bugs, share feedback either via the Feedback Hub or GitHub issues for detailed issues/discussions.
If you are really excited to work with a terminal, you can easily switch to a linux operating, it there since 1980s, do not wait for microsoft to release such a silly unstable terminal based on linux kernel.
I enjoyed how your punctuation was not punctual, the OP will probably never read this as you will probably not read. (PS can you guess which punctuation errors were intentional which unintentional. ?).
I hope this one will become a proper tool akin to cmder and not just something to shut up Linux fanboys. I understand that ConEmu and cmder were pretty hacky so you decided to not use them as base but featuresets are absolutely awesome!
You can expect a lot of feedback and complains from me, just like with Edge and Chomium/Edge, first one being: I want to be able to turn ligatures off and to use Consolas and fallback to other font only for unsupported characters
If you don't have access to the Microsoft Store, the builds are published on the GitHub releases page. If you install from GitHub, Windows Terminal will not automatically update with new versions. For additional installation options using a package manager (winget, chocolatey, scoop), see the Windows Terminal product repo.
You can invoke most features of Windows Terminal through the command palette. The default key combination to invoke it is Ctrl+Shift+P. You can also open it using the Command palette button in the dropdown menu.
To customize the settings of your Windows Terminal, select Settings in the dropdown menu. This will open the settings UI to configure your settings. You can learn how to open the settings UI with keyboard shortcuts on the Actions page.
Select Settings in the Windows Terminal dropdown menu while holding Shift to open the settings.json file in your default text editor. (The default text editor is defined in your Windows settings.)
You can launch the terminal in a specific configuration using command line arguments. These arguments let you open the terminal with specific tabs and panes with custom profile settings. Learn more about command line arguments on the Command line arguments page.
If you encounter any difficulties using the terminal, reference the Troubleshooting page. If you find any bugs or have a feature request, you can select the feedback link in the About menu of the terminal to go to the GitHub page where you can file a new issue.
I am going to do my best to explain this. We recently upgrade our terminal servers (6 user servers, 4 of which are on a load balance) from Windows Server 2008R2 to Windows Server 2016. Previously I had the ability to see who was logged in to which server when logged in as admin, amongst other awesome features, all from one place. It does not seem to work on the new servers. I was using the mmc.exe with the Remote Desktop Services Manager snap in. I had all my servers listed under it. I could see who was logged into each server, when they logged, I could send them a message, and even remote into their session, if needed. I am being told this is not an option on Windows server 2016. Has any one found anything that works similarly? Task manager was suggested, but I would have to be logged into several servers (instead of just connecting to the server remotely).
You can use the built-in Server Manager to manage the user sessions. The console below is available on your Session Host server and can also be installed as part of the RSAT kit for remote administration.
We have Teams installed on our terminal servers (Windows Server 2022) as well as locally. The video and voice functions aren't usable on the terminal servers, but everything else works (most notably the Outlook addin).
1) Teams doesn't want to update - it displays a restart and update icon on the menu, but this doesn't actually cause it to update. Even logging in as an admin and using right-click run as administrator doesn't make any difference. The standalone installer uses an msix package, which doesn't work on WIndows Server (I am aware that there are ways to get it to run these packages, but it shouldn't be necessary and I'd rather avoid it for now if I can)
Which doesn't seen to specifically refer to local terminal servers at all! Assuming that much of what applies to AVD will also apply, I've checked the registry settings it lists and they all appear correct.
Today I have created a new test VM, Server 2022, terminal server role, and installed Office using the normal XML config file method (using the latest available .exe for this). Office installed, and as expected only included the new Teams, not the old one. Still doesn't work properly - even after a clean install Teams wasn't up to date and the update now button didn't work. Manually closing and opening Teams caused it to update in this case (that doesn't work with the live terminal servers), but it's unclear whether this is going to continue to work reliably, or why it won't update on the live servers.
@DavidYorkshire we have the same issue. New Teams sits with Update button but never successfully updates. Going through event viewer it seems to be related to not updating an old version of the Outlook add-in, however removing the add-in from a specific users Outlook didn't stop the issue happening. We thought we had stopped it by renaming the outlook admin folder(s) in appdata\local but it started again. New Teams actually tries to restart itself multiple times during the day to install for this user and other users but it never succeeds. As classic teams is being removed we really need a fix for this as its crippling a client,
@DavidYorkshire - I'm also trying to get New Teams working on RDS environment atleast at the same level as Classic Teams (no video conferencing). As you and others have reported, there often is an "Update" button on the title bar but clicking it does nothing. In my case checking the version of New Teams, it appears that it is actually updated. My New Teams shows the "Update" button but checking its version (Settings -> About Teams), its fully updated. Go here for update history: -us/officeupdates/teams-app-versioning
Separate of that issue, we're also seeing that New Teams randomly closes, sometimes several times a day. This can be troubling since the Tray icon remains until you mouse over it, then it disappears. Users then need to manually restart Teams.
