Windows Start Options - Replace "Windows Terminal" with "Command Prompt"

Arsh · Feb 17, 2022

Hi
Is there anyway I can just switch Windows Terminal in the Win+X Menu to Command Prompt app? There is also a problem where Terminal is not opening when using start options, which is why I want to switch to CMD. Windows 10 had this option in start menu options to replace powershell with command prompt. wondering if windows 11 has the same?

You can select the Command Prompt from within Terminal, and set it to always open Command Prompt at start in settings, much better I think as you can still use PowerShell if needed

I know that cause I have already applied that. I am currently facing a problem where pressing Windows Terminal through Windows+X key is not doing anything.
