Windows Terminal Preview v1.23.11132.0 is a maintenance update that incorporates bug fixes and enhancements to windowing functionality. The update eliminates the startOnUserLogin setting from the configuration options. The system utilizes JSON and supports Group Policy templates for configuring the Default Terminal application. It provides clear error messages in the event of application launch failures, enables language overriding in both portable and unpackaged versions, and permits VT applications to reset the color palette, including foreground, background, cursor, and selection colors through OSCs. Recent updates address the accurate display of session dates in local time, enhanced inner padding for the suggestions user interface, and a resolution for the problem where the terminal would overlook the working directory when initiated through wt. The update enhances compatibility with Windows versions prior to 1903, optimizes CRLF translation, and increases reliability.

Windows Terminal Preview v1.23.11132.0

This servicing release of Terminal Preview has received a lot of bug fixes, many of which are also going to Stable.
There are a couple more spicy ones that we're going to let bake, as well as some Windowing fixes we hope to get out sooner rather than later.

Changes

• We have removed the startOnUserLogin setting from settings.json. It never worked properly. You can still configure automatic launch from the Settings UI, of course, where it will actually stay in sync with the OS ( #18530)
• We now support Group Policy templates that help you configure the Default Terminal application ( #18363) (thanks  @htcfreek!)
• When we fail to launch an application, we will now display a meaningful error message in more cases ( #18462) (thanks  @halldk!)
• You can now set up a language override in the portable and unpackaged versions of Terminal! ( #18684) (thanks  @sylveon!)
• VT applications can now reset the color palette, foreground, background, cursor and selection color using OSCs 104, 110, 111, 112 and 117 ( #18767)

Bug Fixes

• When restoring a session, we now properly display its date in local time rather than UTC ( #18775) (thanks  @vamsiikrishnaak!)
• The suggestions UI now has more inner padding to avoid overlapping controls ( #18780) (thanks  @vamsiikrishnaak!)
• The colorSelection actions once again color the, uh, entire selection ( #18798)
• We have fixed an issue where Terminal would ignore the working directory when you launched it via wt ( #18801)

Accessibility

• The "Open JSON File" option in Settings can now be invoked with Voice Access or the Screen Reader ( #18828)

Compatibility

• Terminal components will no longer fail to load on Windows versions earlier than 1903 due to a missing ICU library ( #18707)

VT and Console APIs

• CRLF translation now works properly when DISABLE_NEWLINE_AUTO_RETURN is reset ( #18781)
• The console will now more reliably wake up applications waiting for input during I/O contention ( #18816)
  • Apparently this bug has existed for ~10 years, and recent speedups have revealed how broken it was!
• Applications using WriteConsoleOutputAttribute on multi-cell characters will no longer result in screen corruption ( #18796)
• The new popup command history implementation will no longer destroy a background color set with the COLOR command ( #18797)

Reliability

• Closing an active terminal pane should result in crashes 99% less often ( #18632)
