Visual Studio launch terminal instead of command prompt

Viewed 476

I have installed the new Windows Terminal and use it for everything instead of the default Command Prompt. However, when I launch a new console application from Visual Studio, it still launches the old Command Prompt.

How can I configure Visual Studio to launch my console application in the new Windows Terminal, instead of the Command Prompt window?

In Windows 11:

You have to set Windows Terminal as your default terminal, to do so go to Settings>Privacy & Security>For Developers>Terminal and select Windows Terminal instead of Windows console Host.
