How to change the default path in Windows Terminal

Windows 10 integrates by default in its system two terminal options to manage multiple types of orders such as CMD and PowerShell, but in addition to that, we find the opportunity to download Windows Terminal for free..

 

Windows Terminal has been developed as a terminal application with a focus on command line tool and shell users. Within it we have multiple tabs, panel integration, Unicode and UTF-8 character support, a GPU-accelerated text rendering engine, as well as the ability to create themes or customize text, colors, backgrounds and shortcuts if required. situation merits it.

 

 

If you do not have Windows Terminal, it is available at the following link:
