Originally created by @deadcoder0904 on GitHub (Jul 4, 2021).

Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.8.1521.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Just install a new Next.js project using https://nextjs.org/docs/getting-started#setup & run npm run dev in Terminal.

You'll see the terminal name changes to C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe

Expected Behavior

I want the terminal name to be the folder name just like it is in all the other terminals. Even Git Bash has the cwd as the terminal name.

Actual Behavior

Terminal name is C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe

Does #8448 helps explaining this?

It explains that it is not possible & says that npm should fix it but I'm really not sure if it's an npm issue as rest of the terminals work fine.

Thanks for the report! If you don't want the application to be able to control (or reset!) the title, you may want to enable this setting:

@DHowett is there a way to set the folder name on the title? There is a Tab Title property but I can't get it to point to cwd or pwd. I tried using %__CD__% & %__CURRENT_DIRECTORY__% which I found online but it doesn't work. Google doesn't help much.

It seems like this is the solution.

function Prompt
{
  $host.ui.RawUI.WindowTitle = $(get-location)
  “PS> “
}

But idk where do I put it?

@deadcoder0904 Try put it in where echo $PROFILE shows you.

Thanks, @skyline75489 that works but the solution is incorrect. Mind pointing me out to setting Tab title to cwd or pwd? Again, Googling leads to useless results.
