This tutorial will show you how to add or remove the Open in Terminal for Intelligent Terminal context menu for your account or all users in Windows 11.
Intelligent Terminal is an experimental terminal with native agent integration, forked from Windows Terminal. Key features include an agent in a dedicated pane that sees your shell context, catches errors as they happen, and helps you fix them without copy-pasting. Ask it to explain failures, generate commands, or work through multi-step tasks while your shell stays unblocked.
If you install the Intelligent Terminal app, a Open in Terminal context menu for Intelligent Terminal is added by default for when you right click or shift + right click on a folder or folder background.
If wanted, you can remove this Open in Terminal context menu for Intelligent Terminal without having to uninstall Intelligent Terminal.
