Windows 10: Script causes Powershell to open in Console Host instead of Windows Terminal

I am trying to run a script that opens a powershell instance for every sub-directory and runs the command whisperPathHere's the code:Get-ChildItem -Directory -Recurse ForEach-Object { Start-Process -FilePath "pwsh.exe" -ArgumentList "-NoExit -Command Set-Location -LiteralPath '$$_.FullName'; whisperPath" }When I run the code on my desktop, each instance of Powershell opens in Windows Terminal successfully but that is not the case on my laptop which opens each Powershell window in Windows Console Host despite WT being the default terminal manager on my laptop:About PCevice name Lance

Is Terminal the same as Powershell?

Hi,

Windows Terminal is a new terminal host application included with Windows 11.

When you open it, you will find that the tab sais "Windows Powershell". You can click the drop-down arrow to show more profiles. These include CMD etc.

The new Terminal is a more refined host for console windows, not a shell itself. If you open powershell within it, it should act exactly like when you opened the old powershell, with the addition of clickable links, tabs, and custom profiles.

Sincerely

LightJack

 

Windows Terminal: Administrator windows open as Command Prompt with the old style (Windows Console Host)

I have Windows 11 Insider Preview.

The default terminal app is Windows Terminal, but when I start Command prompt as administrator, it opens in the Windows Console Host, and not in Windows Terminal. Can I fix this somehow so it opens in Windows Terminal?

 

Windows Script Host

Hi Tiara,

The message "Windows Script Host access is disabled on this machine. Contact your administrator for details" is usually occurring if a program that does not require the feature of Windows Script Host is running on a Windows PC. For us to provide an accurate
solution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

• Which build, version and edition of Windows is installed on your computer?
• Does the message appear when you are launching a specific application?
• What changes were made to the device before this issue happened?

For initial troubleshooting, we suggest following the steps provided by
Ramesh Srinivasan in this thread.

We are looking forward to your response.
