The release of version 0.9 of Windows Terminal took place. This is the latest version of the Terminal and will include new features until v1 is released. You can download Windows Terminal from or with . Let's take a closer look at the update details!
Command line arguments
Alias wt now supports command line arguments. You can now launch Terminal with new tabs and panels, divided the way you like, with profiles you like, starting with directories you like! The possibilities are endless! Here are some examples:
wt -d .
Opens a terminal with the default profile in the current working directory.
wt-d.; new-tab -d C: pwsh.exe
Opens Terminal with two tabs. The first contains the default profile, starting from the current working directory. The second is the default profile with pwsh.exe as the “commandline” (instead of the default profile “commandline”), starting in the C: directory.
wt -p "Windows PowerShell" -d.; split-pane -V wsl.exe
Opens a Terminal with two panels separated vertically. The top pane is running a profile called “Windows Terminal”, and the bottom pane is running a default profile that uses wsl.exe as the “commandline” (instead of the default profile “commandline”).
wt -d C:UserscinnamonGitHubWindowsTerminal; split-pane -p "Command Prompt"; split-pane -p "Ubuntu" -d \wsl$Ubuntuhomecinnak -H
See below.

PowerShell Autodiscovery
If you are a big fan , we have great news for you. Windows Terminal now detects any version of PowerShell and automatically creates a new profile for you. The version of PowerShell that we think is the best (from the highest version number, up to the GA version, up to the best bundled version) will be named “PowerShell” and will occupy the original PowerShell Core slot in the drop-down list.
Confirm closing all tabs
Are you someone who doesn't want to be asked every time to close all tabs? If you answered yes, then this new feature is definitely for you! A new global setting has been created that allows you to always hide the “Close All Tabs” confirmation dialog. To do this you need to set the parameter "confirmCloseAllTabs" в false at the top of your profiles.json file and you'll never see that popup again! Thank you for the contribution of this new parameter.
