Windows Console

Windows Console is the default terminal emulator used in Windows for its command prompt/shell, for Powershell and for WSL. A replacement called Windows Terminal with modern and Linux-terminal-like features is available for newer versions of Windows 10. However, Windows Console is likely to remain in Windows for eternity due to backwards compatibility.
