This is the standard setting in the Windows Terminal APP, but this can be changed quickly, regardless of whether it is Windows 11, 10, ... or MS Server 2022, 2019, ... etc. It was always with Powershell and the command prompt, but the terminal APP is an intermediate station that has to transmit it to the corresponding console!


Info:

The problem was first recognized by a Quad Explorer user when starting the new Windows Terminal APP from the Q-Dir address bar , but the same problem in the MS File Explorer that can be easily fixed in the Windows Terminal APP settings!
