    Windows Terminal settings.json - start w/ two panes top, one bottom


    Windows Version: 10.0.019042.928 Windows Terminal Version: 1.6.10571.0 I would like for Windows Terminal to start with two panes on top, and one on the bottom. I can produce this behavior AFTER startup by launching Windows Terminal like this: wt sp -H Then, once loaded, click in the upper pane and use your assigned shortcut key for a vertical split. Perfect! However, when trying to replicate this behavior using the startupActions option, I have trouble. I can create two panes on the bottom and one on the top like this: "startupActions": "sp -H `; sp", That's pretty close. I noticed that there's a "focus tab" option, so I tried focusing the first tab before splitting, like this: "startupActions": "sp -H `; ft -t 0 `; sp", However, that has no effect on the layout. I must be missing something simple. Can anyone help me achieve my desired layout at startup without requiring me to manually create the additional tab every time?

    :)

  3. Desk top Icons replaced by start menu

    Hello,

    We appreciate your persistent patience n this issue.

    At this point, I suggest you to check if the same issue occurs when logged in through a different Local Administrator user account.



    Follow the steps:

    • Assuming that you are already logged on to your user account in Windows 10, click the Start button.
    • From the Start menu, click your name from the top of the left pane.
    • From the displayed options click Sign out.
    • From the login screen, click to the different user account you want to switch to.


    However, if you do not have a separate user account, I suggest you to create another administrator user account by referring to the Microsoft article here: Set
    up accounts
    .

    Kindly keep us posted on the status of the issue.

    Thank You.
