When i am trying to change the default terminal on my windows 11 laptop, the terminal opens up VSCode for some reason. I open the windows terminal, hit settings then VSCode opens up with this settings.json page:
But the thing is I want to have the terminal settings open up, not VSCode. I am trying to change my default terminal from windows terminal to Ubuntu.
What version of Windows Terminal are you using? The settings UI for the Terminal was added in 1.7 (IIRC), and I believe the version that originally shipped with Windows 11 was 1.6. Before 1.7, clicking on "settings" would open the settings.json
file in whatever your default .json
editor was.
Future readers: If you're hitting this too, make sure to update your Terminal from the Store. Anything >=1.7 should have the Settings UI. At the time of this post, the latest Stable version in the store was 1.12.
