Today, Microsoft has announced that all Windows 11 console programs will now automatically launch by default in Windows Terminal.

"The day has finally come! Windows Terminal is now the default command line experience on Windows 11 22H2!," announced Microsoft Program Manager Kayla Cinnamon.
"This means that all command line applications will now automatically open in Windows Terminal."

For Windows Terminal to become the default Windows 11 console program, you must be using version 1.15 or greater and have today's optional KB5019509 preview update installed.

If you do not wish to use Windows Terminal as the default console program, you can go into Settings > Privacy & security > For developers and change the Terminal setting from 'Let Windows Decide' to 'Windows Console Host'.

Personally, from what I've just read I think this is a good move by MS.

That is apart from some of the personalisation options! Is there honestly any scenario where having a bright yellow background with detail in a vivid red is a good combination for anyone's eyes? I find it hard to believe that anyone 'selling' Terminal would choose that as a good example. Does anyone here use Terminal with one of those 'wallpaper' backgrounds with the swirly designs? I just want something that is easy on the eyes and practical, but then I am a 'dark reader' user.
