One of the most exciting features of the new terminal is the ability to customize it. We will cover the customization of settings in the next section.
You can also link to multiple versions of PowerShell by adding additional profiles to the settings JSON file. The tabs along the top allow you to run multiple shells in the same session. Once you fire up the terminal, you will immediately notice it looks different from a standard PowerShell or CMD shell. If you are a taskbar die hard (like me) you may also wish to pin the app: Once the install completes, you can start the terminal by clicking Start then typing Terminal. I had an issue with device authorization I had to work through before the store would allow me to download and install the terminal. Ensure you are on a device in which you have logged in to with a Microsoft//LiveID account. Once you find it, click “Get” in the upper right. Fire that app up and search for Windows Terminal. I nstall t he Windows Terminal (Preview) from the Microsoft Store. If no version appears you can manually download/install version 1903 here. From there you can click the “Check for Updates” button and apply the latest version. Then click “Check for Update” in the Start menu. If you need to update to version 1903 (also called the Windows Update) you can open Windows Update by clicking Start, then Typing “Update”.
Scroll down and look at the version you are currently running. You can find this by right-clicking Start and selecting System.
The first settings to check is your current version of Windows 10. Rich customization options that can be modified to suit your preferences.Support for Unicode characters so you can now use emoji in your scripts!.Tabbed interface for Command Prompt and Multiple PowerShell versions.The new terminal has an impressive set of features that I will detail below. That means you may experience crashes or features may appear/disappear without warning. Note: The New Windows Terminal is in PREVIEW. I wanted to write this blog to help answer some of the questions and issues I had while installing and customizing it. Recently, I have been using the new windows terminal to run CMD and PowerShell commands while supporting clients.
