[dba-Tech] Another reason to put off W11

[Stuart McLachlan]

Further on console in WIn 11:

"Command Prompt and Windows Powershell for Windows 11

In Windows 11 22H2, the default app used to host console windows has been 
changed to Windows Terminal. After the October 2022 update, Command Prompt, 
Windows PowerShell, and other console apps will appear inside an instance of 
Windows Terminal. 

You might experience compatibility issues with apps, especially those that try to 
blend graphical elements with text mode elements. "


And from the previously quoted PB Develope:
>From the same PB developer:

"I've already discovered a bug in Microsoft's Virtual Terminal Sequences where one 
of the commands to clear part/all of the console will lock up an app in certain 
circumstances, even if you close the terminal, you have to go find the app still in 
task manager. "
