Windows 10: Windows 11 Terminal

JacobHutcherson1 · Sep 30, 2022

Here is my question: My pc upgraded to Windows 11 quite some time ago. For the many months since the upgrade, I have been unable to utilize the command prompt/PowerShell terminal tool. My terminal opens appropriately so that isn't an issue. My problem comes when running commands. I have verified that I have either PowerShell or the Command Prompt open. I run anything and get an error informing me that the command does not exist. The only semi-fix that allows me to run some commands limited, is to open the command palette and hit the backspace button. Once I do that I can insert the command a

Windows Terminal 1.15.252 released to Windows 10 and Windows 11

This release migrates some awesome features, changes and bug fixes from Terminal 1.15 Preview into the stable channel!

Terminal now supports "Mark Mode", a keyboard-first text selection and navigation mode. The name is an homage to the traditional Windows Console Host!

It is bound by default to Ctrl+Shift+M

Please see the following release notes for additional details:

Windows Terminal Preview v1.15.228

Windows Terminal Preview v1.15.200

Windows Terminal Preview v1.15.186

Note that the new text rendering engine and scrollbar mark feature is not included in this Stable build. Yet.
IMPORTANT
This version was made available to the Dev External flighting ring (Windows Insiders) first, and will be released to general availability one or two weeks later depending on its reliability.
As a reminder, Terminal 1.12 was the last version of Windows Terminal that supports Windows 19H1 or 19H2.

That version of windows is going out of support soon, so you may want to consider upgrading.

Preinstallation Kit info
A preinstallation kit is available for system integrators and OEMs interested in prepackaging Windows Terminal with a Windows image. More information is available in the DISM documentation on preinstallation. Users who do not intend to preinstall Windows Terminal should continue using the msixbundle distribution.

Why are there so many packages? How do I choose?
This version of Windows Terminal is distributed in two bundles, one of which works on Windows 10-11 and the other of which only works on Windows 11. The Windows 11 version is much smaller because we no longer need to work around a platform issue related to our dependencies.If you intend on using Terminal as an unpackaged application--that is, extracting the msix file--we recommend that you use the Win10 bundle. You will need the Visual C++ runtime redistributable.

In addition, if you install the packaged version on either Windows 10 or Windows 11, it now depends on the Visual C++ Universal Runtime Package.

Despite these distributions having different version numbers, they are built from the same code and there is no functional difference between them.

If you install the Windows 10 version on Windows 11, it will probably automatically upgrade itself to the Windows 11 version. It turns out that it is impossible to have two bundles with the same version number, so it has to be this way.

In addition to the above, we've backported the following changes and bugfixes from Windows Terminal Preview 1.16:

Changes

Interaction

When in mark mode, its built in key bindings Ctrl+A and the modified arrow keys will take precedence over your key bindings (#13659)

We've polished how existing selections interact with mark mode (#13893)

UI

@dansmor7 figured out that we don't need to draw our caption buttons ourselves; now they look great on all versions of Windows! (#13341) (thanks!)

Bug Fixes

Interaction

Terminal will now use the tab's active title for Export Text (#13915) (thanks @serd2011!)

The Emoji picker, PinYin IME or any other IME will no longer drift off the bottom of the screen (oops) (#13785)

Accessibility

The Command Palette has become much chattier, announcing (to a screen reader) the name of the selected item (#13519)

Asking for INT_MAX characters via UIA will no longer wig us out or try to send you multiple gigabytes of null bytes (#13779)

However, it remains impolite to ask for INT_MAX characters via ITextPattern::GetText.

Performance

Terminal is now 1.2 megabytes smaller on disk (uncompressed) thanks to not using RTTI (#13947) (thanks RTTI!)

Reliability

Fixed a number of crashes (smaller number than that in Preview), not all of which were common or user-impacting:

Attempted a fix for the SignalTextChanged crash (#13876)

Attempted another fix, this time for the _refreshSizeUnderLock crash (#13857)

Fixed a crash in _WritePseudoWindowCallback (#13777)

Fixed a crash on exit with the command palette open (#13778)

Fixed a race condition in UpdatePatternLocations (#13859)

Fixed two race conditions around pseudo window visibility (#13832)

Fixed a crash in NVDA, caused by us considering a specific text range invalid (#13907)

Terminal should now more reliably appear in the context menu

Windows Terminal 1.12.1098 released to Windows 10 and Windows 11

This release was made available to insiders in the Dev and Beta channels on April 11 and is now generally available.

Preinstallation Kit info
A preinstallation kit is available for system integrators and OEMs interested in prepackaging Windows Terminal with a Windows image. More information is available in the DISM documentation on preinstallation. Users who do not intend to preinstall Windows Terminal should continue using the msixbundle distribution.

If you install the Windows 10 verison on Windows 11, it will probably automatically upgrade itself to the Windows 11 version. It turns out that it is impossible to have two bundles with the same version number, so it has to be this way.

Changes

The refreshed Windows 11 UI from the 1.13 preview builds is now available in 1.12!

Bug Fixes

Appearance

Our Maximize/Restore button is now a fine round boi (#12660)

Accessibility

The profile list in the Settings UI now offers tooltips for long profile names (#12448)

We'll automatically focus the window renamer textbox when it opens (#12798)

High contrast will no longer result in a ridiculous and bad titlebar color (#12839)

When you delete a color scheme, we'll move focus back to the color scheme list (#12841)

When you delete a profile, we will re-focus the delete button automatically (#12558)

Two instances of huge debug log spam with a screen reader connected have been stamped out (#12698) (#12723)

Usability

We've added some text to the color schemes page indicating that it is for editing--not setting--color schemes (#12663)

We're working to refine how color schemes are set and edited, so stay tuned for future improvements!

The retro terminal effect (as well as other shaders) will now work on pre-D3D11 hardware! (#12677)

Terminal will once again render properly when you move between different-DPI displays (#12713) (#12749)

Resizing the window while a background color or underline is displayed will no longer smear it across the whole screen (#12637) plus a fix for a huge crash that PR introduced (#12853)

It took us three releases to get it right, but we've finally solved the issue where we'd punch a hole straight through the Terminal when a dialog appeared (#12840)

Reliability

Typing an invalid background image path into the Settings UI will no longer send Terminal to a farm upstate (#11542) (thanks @serd2011!)

There was an issue on Windows 11 where Terminal would queue up billions of animations while the screen was off; it will now no longer do so (#12820)

We've fixed crashes in ProposeCommandline (#12838), Monarch::_GetPID (#12856) and other parts of WT's RPC infrastructure (#12825)

On Windows 10, the settings UI will no longer sometimes crash on close (we've updated to a new build of WinUI 2 for the fix!) (#12847)

Miscellaneous

Windows will no longer reject certain Terminal updates/reinstalls due to "differing package content" (#12779)

Fragments can once again override the names of generated profiles (#12627)

An issue from the 1073 series, where you could not upgrade the bundle using DISM, has been resolved (#12819)

As a result, our bundle version is now over three thousand!

@dmezh contributed some wording changes to the text about transparency/opacity (#12592) (#12727) (thanks!)

Also included in this release are some bug fixes and changed backported from 1.14:

Changes

UI

@dansmor7 contributed some visual changes to the tabs, scrollbar, new tab button, caption buttons, color picker, settings UI, command palette, and search box to move us closer to the Windows 11 design language. Really just about any WinUI surface we have, it's been polished up! (thanks @dansmor7!) (#12913) (#12916) (#12973) (#13083)

RadioButtons in the settings UI have been replaced with ComboBoxes. This gives an added bonus to keyboard and screen reader users, and makes it easier to navigate through and change these settings. (#12833)

Interactivity

Terminal is now aware of toggled state for Caps Lock, Scroll Lock, and Num Lock (#12823) (thanks @matkaas!)

Settings

The trimBlockSelection global setting now defaults to true (#12737)

Terminal now ignores newTab actions with a profile index greater than the number of profiles (#11621)

bellSound is now in the schema (#13035) (thanks @pizzaz93!)

Bug Fixes

Terminal should be able to find Cascadia Mono... Third time's the charm? (#12904)

commandline in profile.defaults should no longer override the commandlines of profiles that specify cmd.exe or powershell.exe. (#12906)

Get rid of a memory leak in onecore interactivity (#12340)

Screen readers can now read some settings in the UI better (#13032)

Replace "acrylic" with "acrylic material" for localization purposes (#12505)

The "close tab" button color now matches the tab text color (#13018) (thanks @ianjoneill!)

Reliability

Fix a crash when deleting the last profile in the settings UI (#13044)
