Along with Terminal, Windows has a common interface for PowerShell, Command Prompt and Azure Cloud Shell. It allows you to start Terminal directly with Command Prompt.

You can open the program by simply right-clicking the Start button and selecting “Terminal” or “Terminal (Administrator)” or by right-clicking a folder in Explorer or on the desktop and selecting “Open in Terminal.”

The tool then offers PowerShell by default. You can go to the command prompt using the down arrow in the title bar. However, it is possible to start the command prompt with the terminal itself.

To do this, please also click on the downward pointing arrow in the title bar and select “Settings”. In the next step, select “Command Prompt” from the “Start” tab in the “Default Profile” menu and click “Save” at the bottom of the window.
