Microsoft has released a preview version of Windows Terminal at Windows Store, which allows process commands using PowerShell, Command Prompt and Bash (using Windows Subsystem for Linux).

Since PowerShell is default processor, everytime the terminal is launched, I need to change it again to Linux Bash.

Is it possible to define the default processor as Linux instead of keep reseting it over and over?

  • How do you launch the terminal? – Dominique Jun 25 '19 at 14:10
  • It is not yet oficially released, so you have to build it on your own [from sources](https://github.com/microsoft/Terminal/) or download preview version from [Microsoft Store](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-terminal-preview/9n0dx20hk701). Generally it should be installed as any other UWP application – Eltu Jun 26 '19 at 11:35

You need to click 'Settings' menu entry in the drop down menu Options drop down menu

Then a settings json file should be opened in your default JSON editor. Please look for 'profiles' section and copy guid for your bash profile.

profiles section

Then just paste copied guid in 'globals' section's 'defaultProfile' key:
