Originally created by @r33int on GitHub (Oct 24, 2021).

Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

10.0.22000.0 1.11.2921.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  • Use WIndows Terminal as a default terminal (new feature in Windows 11)
  • Open an UWP app and focus its window
  • Run any shell program from Search or Win+R (cmd.exe, powershell.exe)

Expected Behavior

Windows Terminal window should open in the foreground and be focused, as it does when a Win32 window is focused.

Actual Behavior

Windows Terminal opens in the background, and maximizing the window is needed to reveal it. I have attached a video that shows the problem.

Hmmm. This doesn't seem to repro on 10.0.22486.1000. This might be a variation on that same run dialog issue we were seeing before. Granted, I'm on an internal build, but I think 10.0.22000 is a little out of date, so updating here might help.

Unfortunately, 10.0.22000 is the latest public Windows 11 version. 22xxx where xxx > 0 is Insiders-only.

So is this rather an issue with the current Windows 11 builds than with Terminal?

For what it's worth, I can't repro this on Windows 10.0.22000.258 with terminal 1.11.2921.0.

Sorry, I typo'd, I meant 10.0.22000.0. I was under the impression that the (major.minor.build.revision?) revision numbers were still getting bumped for in-market Win11's. This might be #10965

Ah. There's an issue (?) where PowerShell's OSVersion reports .0 when the UBR is actually much higher.

cmd /c ver is perhaps more reliable.

(dhowett-sl) ~ % [System.Environment]::OSVersion

Platform ServicePack Version      VersionString
-------- ----------- -------      -------------
 Win32NT             10.0.22490.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.22490.0

                                ^ oops zero

(dhowett-sl) ~ % cmd /c ver

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22490.1000]
                                      ^^^^ much higher!

This seems to be a similar issue from the one I've filed.

If that can help with reproducing, I am currently running this version:
Microsoft Windows [version 10.0.22000.282].

Hey it's been a few months since this was filed, and hopefully some fixes have flowed out. I can't say for sure, but I suspect if this was in fact the issue we were thinking of, then it should probably have shipped by now. Any chance you're still seeing this on a newer Win11 build?

EDIT: looking at MSFT:35378923, I'm not actually sure that got serviced to in-market Windows 11 versions...
