Versions:
Windows Terminal is a productivity-focused command-line shell application developed by Microsoft Corporation that consolidates multiple console environments into a single, customizable interface. Designed for developers, system administrators, and power users, the program replaces the legacy Windows Console host with a modern, GPU-accelerated terminal that supports tabs, panes, themes, and Unicode text rendering. Released under an open-source license and currently at version 1.24.10621.0, the software has evolved through 63 public builds since its debut, each iteration adding features such as profiles for PowerShell, CMD, WSL, and Azure Cloud Shell, as well as advanced key-binding, background images, and JSON-based configuration. Typical use cases include managing remote servers via SSH, running parallel development environments in split panes, monitoring logs with color-coded output, and automating workflows through scripted profiles. The application belongs to the System Utilities / Terminal Emulators category and integrates natively with Windows 10 and Windows 11, offering optional integration with the Windows Package Manager for silent deployment across enterprise fleets. Users can extend functionality through open-source plugins and share themed configurations on public repositories, while the built-in search and accessibility options cater to both novice and expert audiences. Windows Terminal is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
