This will provide a swell of useful feedback to make sure nearly everyone will have a good experience using Windows Terminal.

Per our headline, over the course of 2022, Microsoft is planning to make the powerful, feature-rich, and customisable Windows Terminal the default experience on Windows 11 devices. Now, Microsoft has opened up options to make it easy for anyone to change terminal preferences – the choice is available in three Windows settings pages, so it is hard to miss if you are looking for it (in the developer settings page of Windows settings, inside Windows Terminal’s settings on the Startup page (see below), and inside the Windows Console Host property sheet). For a long time this was set in stone, though third-party utilities sometimes implemented workarounds to change the command-line experience. Starting from the dawn of Windows, the default terminal program has been the Windows Console Host, says Microsoft.

In a blog post, a Microsoft exec talks about the next Windows Terminal servicing and features release, set for January, the history of the default terminal program in Windows, and default experience rollout plans. Microsoft will make Windows Terminal the default experience on Windows devices next year.
