Here is our first Windows Terminal Preview release of the year! In this release, we focused on porting many of our beloved settings to the Settings UI. We also have several bug fixes and accessibility updates as well.<\/p>\n<p>We are also updating Windows Terminal stable to version 1.22 which will include all of the features from <a href=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/commandline\/windows-terminal-preview-1-22-release\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">this previous blog post<\/a>.
