The Windows Terminal is a modern, fast, efficient, powerful, and productive terminal application for users of command-line tools and shells like Command Prompt, PowerShell, and WSL. Its main features include multiple tabs, panes, Unicode and UTF-8 character support, a GPU accelerated text rendering engine, and custom themes, styles, and configurations.
Starting with Windows 10 build 21337, Windows Terminal is now an inbox app.
The current settings of the Windows Terminal app are saved to the “%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json” file for your account.
Each time you make and save changes to Windows Terminal app settings, a backup of the previous settings are automatically created and saved to a date and time stamped “%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json.2021-04-22T11-29-25.backup” (settings.json.Year-Month-DayTHour-Minute-Seconds.backup) file for your account.
Sometimes, you may want to reset all Windows Terminal app settings back to default without having to reset the app.
