I noticed that my "Terminal" and "Terminal (Admin)" became "Windows PowerShell" and "Windows PowerShell (Admin)".

How can I change it back? I tried some of the links online e.g. `WinX` folder etc., but they seem to be for either Windows 10 or earlier builds of Windows 11.

Thanks much!

In Windows 11, you can change the default command-line experience to Command Prompt using two primary methods: through the system's "For developers" settings or within the Windows Terminal application's settings
.

Method 1: Use Windows Settings
This method changes the default terminal application used when opening any command-line tool.
  1. Open the Settings app by pressing the Windows key + I.
  2. Navigate to System > For developers.
  3. Under the Terminal section, use the drop-down menu for Default terminal application and select Windows Console Host.
After this, launching a terminal (e.g., via the Run dialog box by pressing Windows key + R and typing cmd) will use the classic Command Prompt interface.

I'm not talking about Windows key + R, I'm talking about Windows key + X.
I want "Terminal", not "Windows PowerShell". I swear it was originally "Windows PowerShell", until some time ago not-so-recently, I noticed this changed.
