Windows Terminal is a multi-tabbed terminal emulator developed by Microsoft for Windows 10 and later[4] as a replacement for Windows Console.[5] It can run any command-line app in a separate tab. It is preconfigured to run Command Prompt, PowerShell, WSL and Azure Cloud Shell Connector,[6][7] and can also connect to SSH by manually configuring a profile.[8] Windows Terminal comes with its own rendering back-end; starting with version 1.11 on Windows 11, command-line apps can run using this newer back-end instead of the old Windows Console.[9]
Since Windows 11 22H2 and Windows Terminal 1.15, Windows Terminal replaces Windows Console as the default.[10][11]
