Windows Terminal is a multi-tabbed terminal emulator developed by Microsoft for Windows 10 and later[4] as a replacement for Windows Console.[5] It can run any command-line app in a separate tab. It is preconfigured to run Command Prompt, PowerShell, Windows Subsystem for Linux, Azure Cloud Shell Connector,[6][7] and will add other shell applications automatically after installation.[8] Windows Terminal comes with its own rendering back-end; starting with version 1.11 on Windows 11, command-line apps can run using this newer back-end instead of the old Windows Console.[9]
Since Windows 11 22H2 and Windows Terminal 1.15, Windows Terminal replaces Windows Console as the default terminal application.[10][11]
Windows Terminal was announced[5] at Microsoft's Build 2019 developer conference in May 2019[12] as a modern alternative for Windows Console, and Windows Terminal's source code first appeared on GitHub on May 3, 2019.[1] The first preview release was version 0.2, which appeared on July 10, 2019.[13] The first stable version of the project (version 1.0) was on May 19, 2020, at which point, Microsoft started releasing preview versions as the Windows Terminal Preview app, which could be installed side-by-side with the stable version.[14]
Terminal is a command-line front-end. It can run multiple command-line apps, including text-based shells in a multi-tabbed window. It has out-of-the-box support for Command Prompt, PowerShell, and Bash on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).[6] It can natively connect to Azure Cloud Shell.[7]
Terminal augments the text-based command experience by providing support for:
Cascadia Code is a purpose-built monospaced font by Aaron Bell of Saja Typeworks for the new command-line interface. It includes programming ligatures and was designed to enhance the look and feel of Windows Terminal.[19] It is also the default font for Visual Studio.[20] The font is open-source under the SIL Open Font License and available on GitHub.[21] It is bundled with Windows Terminal since version 0.5.2762.0.[22]

Command Prompt, or Windows Command Processor, is a shell program on later versions of Windows (NT and CE families), OS/2, eComStation, ArcaOS, and ReactOS. In some versions of Windows (CE .NET 4.2, CE 5.0 and Embedded CE 6.0) it is referred to as the Command Processor Shell. Implementation differs between operating systems, but with significant consistency of behavior and available commands. Older, related operating systems, DOS and Windows 9x, provided COMMAND.COM as the shell. Command Prompt (cmd.exe) replaced COMMAND.COM in the Windows product line with the introduction of NT. Current versions of Windows include PowerShell as an alternative shell that runs side-by-side with Command Prompt. The initial version of Command Prompt for Windows NT was developed by Therese Stowell. Windows CE 2.11 was the first embedded Windows release to support a console and a Windows CE version of Command Prompt. The ReactOS implementation of Command Prompt is derived from FreeCOM, the FreeDOS command line interpreter.
Windows Console is a GUI application for running console applications in Windows. Windows Console is used for running text-based programs such as operating system shells (e.g. Command Prompt and PowerShell), utilities (e.g. Far Manager) and some, generally older, applications (e.g. Midnight Commander). Windows Terminal was introduced in Windows 10 as a replacement for Windows Console. In 2019, the console host was open-sourced under the MIT License, alongside Windows Terminal.
In computing, tree is a recursive directory listing command or program that produces a depth-indented listing of files. Originating in PC- and MS-DOS, it is found in Digital Research FlexOS, IBM/Toshiba 4690 OS, PTS-DOS, FreeDOS, IBM OS/2, Microsoft Windows, and ReactOS. A version for Unix and Unix-like systems is also available. The tree command is frequently used as part of a technical support scam, where the command is used to occupy the command prompt screen, while the scammer, pretending to be technical support, types additional text that is supposed to look like output of the command.
Windows Terminal is a multi-tabbed terminal emulator developed by Microsoft for Windows 10 and later as a replacement for Windows Console. It can run any command-line app in a separate tab. It is preconfigured to run Command Prompt, PowerShell, Windows Subsystem for Linux, Azure Cloud Shell Connector, and will add other shell applications automatically after installation. Windows Terminal comes with its own rendering back-end; starting with version 1.11 on Windows 11, command-line apps can run using this newer back-end instead of the old Windows Console. Since Windows 11 22H2 and Windows Terminal 1.15, Windows Terminal replaces Windows Console as the default terminal application.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
