[FIXED] How to use the new Windows Terminal as Visual Studio debugging console

Issue

How can I set the new Windows Terminal application to be used as debugging console in Visual Studio 2019? By default it launches cmd.exe when I debug.

Solution

After the release of windows terminal 1.12 in combination with Windows 11 (or Windows Insider Program Dev Channel) it is now possible to set default terminal and point to Windows Terminal. After doing that the Visual Studio debugging console gets hosted in windows terminal when debugging console applications in visual studio (tested in vs2022)!
