Windows Terminal is a multi-tabbed command-line terminal application. It provides Windows PowerShell and Command Prompt as well as Azure CloudShell. Each tab can be accessed simultaneously. Windows Terminal allows you to access multiple shell environments from the same window, a feature that was not available before. It is a powerful, efficient tool that is available in Windows 10 & 11 and you can also download it from the Microsoft Store.
This is a step-by-step guide to Set Command Prompt as Default startup profile in Windows Terminal to automatically open Command Prompt when you start the Windows Terminal App.
When you launch Windows Terminal, the Windows PowerShell tab will open automatically. You can choose Command Prompt instead of PowerShell by changing the default profile to Command Prompt. Here’s how to do it.
