Steps to reproduce

I have my default profile set to Ubuntu, and regular Windows Command (set to run as admin) as just another profile.

When I open WT it opens normally, with ubuntu tab opening, and any subsequent ubuntu tab that I open also opens in a new tab in that same window; however, if I click to open a Windows Command Prompt tab, it always opens a brand new WT window with only that Windows Command Prompt tab in it.

My settings:

Expected Behavior

I want ALL tabs to open in the same window, not opening a new window just for that tab. It seems to only happen with that Command Prompt profile though and none of my other profiles, and I cant see anything in the settings that would cause this? All attempts to play with settings hasn't change the behavior.

Actual Behavior

See above.

set to run as admin

Elevated profiles open in a separate instance of Windows Terminal. This limitation (unfortunate though it may be!) is called out in the documentation ☹️

@DHowett Aww, I see. :\

It really made me wonder because on another pc I have the same setup, only I have the elevated command prompt set as the default, and when it first opens, no problem; the admin prompt shows in 1 window, but then ALL other new tabs, whether a Debian tab, or a new blank admin command prompt, show in that same window.

I guess maybe that's a hacky workaround? Always set the admin command prompt as the default profile. ugh

Just confirmed the hacky workaround by setting that default profile to the admin cmd prompt as well. I guess I'll just have to deal with the QoL hit. lol

Sorry about that. There are some sharp corners in automatic profile elevation. :/
