How To _TOP_ Download Windows Terminal Without Store

(Also, the empty/fake python.exe is not really empty. It says 0 KB in the screenshot, but entering "start ms-windows-store:" in cmd opens the Windows App Store, so it probably just has a line with that and a way to direct it to the Python page.)
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) allows you to install a complete Ubuntu terminal environment in minutes on your Windows machine, allowing you to develop cross-platform applications without leaving Windows.
This isn't the first time I've talked about this, and probably won't be the last, but for my work in Visual Studio I often need an Admin Windows terminal window. I need it for a couple of build tasks - Chocolatey installs of an admin install and for a funky certificate that doesn't want to work from the User certificate store. Long story short for one of my builds - Markdown Monster in particular - I need to run the terminal as an admin.
This article shows how we can use docker in windows and WSL2 without Docker Workstation
To do so, we just need first to run a powershell script launching dockerd in WSL2 and once dockerd is listening we can simply use the command docker (maintained by Stefan Scherer).
When windows folders are mounted and you launch a terminal to your WSL2 distro, you can navigate on your windows folders with commands like : wsl cd MyWindowsDirectory... wsl ls etc... without to be connected to a bash, just direcly from windows :)
When Dockerd is simply launched in your distro, you can run also "wsl docker ps" etc...
The terminal also supports the acrylic effect in Windows 10 which can beenabled by setting useAcrylic to true. The transparency of the effect can becontrolled with acrylicOpacity (accepts a floating point between 0 and 1). Youcan use these settings with or without a background image.
You can install it either through the Windows Store (recommended), manually via the GitHub release artifacts, or if you use Chocolately, then there is an unofficial Chocolatey package (choco install microsoft-windows-terminal).
If I shutdown/reboot from Menu I get an option of saving state of open windows or not, but if I issue a command from terminal say shutdown -h now it will shutdown remembering all open windows, how can I shutdown without remembering any of the open windows just like the Menu option from terminal ?
But I really hope there is some better solution to this ? In my case the problem is that I have a mac in a server room that automatically runs a script in a terminal window. This machine can be rebooted remotely. But thus every time it reboots it keeps the old terminal window and opens a new one, so if I have rebooted it 10 times there will be 10 terminal windows open where only one is in use.
If your key is named something different, or stored at a different location than shown above, you will need to specify its location in the ssh-add command. Note that MobaXterm refers to windows drives as e.g. /drives/c/ (with forward slashes). So if you've put your key on your desktop, then the path to that might be /drives/c/Users/fred/Desttop/id_rsa_jasmin (if "fred" is your local username on Windows).
Instead of having a desktop shortcut, you can add a Windows Terminal icon to the taskbar. Then you can open Terminal from the taskbar without needing to minimize software windows. Here is how you can Windows Terminal to your taskbar.
