Hello i have a question.
i can't use the new Windows Terminal from the Microsoft store as default.
In the normal CMD.exe Terminal i can't find the Option "Use other Terminal as default" or something else.
How can i use it as default :(

    MS Store has Windows Terminal 1.23.20211.0 (currently in Win11 GA) AND Windows Terminal Preview 1.25.622.0 IBs have 1.24.10621.0, which is held back from Win11 GA 'til its next cycle. But is, now, in IBs. It is available from github

    You have to be running a newer version of WIndows 10 AND you need at least Windows Terminal 1.9. The steps are given here.
