Hello,

I am trying to use windows terminal, however I can't use any command (see picture).

I've tried to reinstall it and run as administrator but doesn't change anything

Do you have an idea of what I can do?

Answer 1

Hello,

In windows terminal you can use different shells. You currently use PowerShell and the commands you tried are not valid there.

To switch click the arrow and select the correct shell (in your case command prompt) from the dropdown

Hello El_Drago, how are you?

I am an independent consultant and user like you!

I'm happy to help you!

PowerShell works a little differently from the Command Prompt, in some cases the command is different!

To use the "ssh" command in PowerShell, see this topic:

To receive the same result as the Command Prompt "view" command in PowerShell, use the command below:

$PSVersionTable.BuildVersion

See more at this link from Microsoft:

If you still have a problem I hope your answer!
