I am using Windows 11. It seems Windows Terminal is preinstalled. However when the Terminal tabbed interface starts I got the PowerShell 7 prompt in the Terminal. (If I type exit in hope PowerShell is just running over an other shell, then the whole thing exits)

Question

Is there any way to start Windows Terminal just with the normal shell?

You can set the default profile within the Settings tab for Windows Terminal.

Strictly speaking Windows Terminal isn’t actually an emulator, it’s a host application (Microsoft’s own words), which leverages hooks within Microsoft to become the default host application for Command Prompt, PowerShell, and WSL. It simply replaces (or lives along side of on Windows 10) the default host application built-into Windows.
