After several months of testing, Microsoft has officially rolled out the stable release of Windows Terminal version 1.23.12371.0, bringing with it a wide range of improvements and new features. The terminal, which serves as the modern replacement for the classic Windows console, has become an all-in-one emulator that supports multiple shells and command lines, including CMD, PowerShell, and WSL
What’s New in Windows Terminal 1.23
The update introduces both functional and visual enhancements designed to improve reliability and user customization:
- New window architecture that offers greater stability and performance.
- Enhanced tray icon and window actions, making it easier to manage sessions.
- Redesigned user interface, including a customizable “new tab” dropdown menu (previously limited to JSON edits).
- Drag-and-drop improvements with new configuration options tailored to user needs.
- Updated app support to better control window sizing in specific scenarios.
- Bug fix for an issue that caused profiles to disappear under certain conditions.
Beyond these changes, the update also emphasizes overall stability improvements, making the transition from version 1.22 to 1.23 more than just cosmetic.

The stable build is now available for all users via the Microsoft Store, where it can be downloaded and installed directly without additional steps.
Alongside this release, Microsoft has already begun development on the Preview version 1.24, signaling that more updates and refinements are on the way. For now, users can enjoy the expanded functionality and smoother experience offered by version 1.23.
