This may be the first time we've released a servicing update for Preview without an associated update to Stable! Well, at any rate, some of these fixes are destined for stable... eventually. ## Bug Fixes * IME composition will no longer blindly overwrite text to the right of the cursor, but "intelligently" push it further to the right to ensure that it stays visible (#20041) (thanks @drvoss!) * Terminal will now display a warning dialog if you attempt to open a URL that might harm your computer (as voted by a bunch of security researchers) (#20065) (#20096) * We have temporarily removed support for `OSC 7`, as it was causing unintended network accesses and process creation failures (#20116) * We will no longer enter a cursor position request report loop for some applications that use the XTerm alternate screen buffer (#20095) --- _Binary files inside the unpackaged distribution archive bear the version number `1.25.260427001-preview`._

Ah, a Friday servicing release. That's never backfired before. ## Changes * The "invalid media resource, go get rekt" warning has been toned down (and for now, has been removed entirely in the Stable channel) (#19969) * We now support the use of `OSC 7` in some circumstances to report the current working directory (#20019) * Terminal will once again emit an empty bracketed paste sequence (`\e[200~\e[201~`) when you attempt to paste an image (e.g. into an agentic coding CLI) (#20037) * Terminal will now assert focus when you drag and drop a file on it (#20003) (thanks @etbala!) * We've reworked how text selection is handled when an application requests mouse mode; <kbd>Shift</kbd> clicks will no longer extend an existing selection and positioning will use absolute coordinates rather than selecting the nearest half cell (#19973) * When you restart a session with "Restart Connection", we will now return the terminal to a more sane default state (#19971) ## Bug Fixes * Console applications will now only receive <kbd>Ctrl+Z</kbd> as `EOF` when they are reading input in the `ENABLE_PROCESSED_INPUT` mode; this restores the console to its behavior in Windows 7 (#19940) *

With this servicing update, Windows Terminal 1.24 has progressed to the "Release Preview" ring! ## Changes * The "invalid media resource, go get rekt" warning has been toned down (and for now, has been removed entirely in the Stable channel) (#19969) * Terminal will once again emit an empty bracketed paste sequence (`\e[200~\e[201~`) when you attempt to paste an image (e.g. into an agentic coding CLI) (#20037) * When you restart a session with "Restart Connection", we will now return the terminal to a more sane default state (#19971) ## Bug Fixes * Dragging to create a new selection in the terminal while searching will now properly focus the terminal for keyboard input (such as copying) (#19931) (thanks @4RH1T3CT0R7!) * Korean IME users will no longer experience characters being inserted into the wrong places during arrow key presses (#20039) (thanks @drvoss!) * The console host will no longer fail to launch on editions of Windows that do not contain the full text input framework (#19958) * The Mark Mode selection indicators will no longer disappear permanently when they are scrolled out of view (#19974) (#20045) * When "Copy on select" is enabled, we will no long

Windows Terminal 1.25 is here, with a bunch of new features in tow! It sports a new search experience inside the Settings page, the ability to edit actions, command palette entries and key bindings with a rich editor--rather than just their key bindings--support for Kitty's keyboard protocol and two completely new community translations! > [!NOTE] > This release has been somewhat slow to roll out via the Store (and we are tracking down the issue with the folks who own the Store), but it is generally available today (March 5th, 2026) both here and via WinGet. ## Features * You can now edit actions, key bindings, and command palette entries in full in the newly-rewritten Actions page of Settings (#18917) (#18915) (#19771) (#19906) (#19865) (#19822) (#19862) (#19827) * You can now search for settings, profiles, actions, extensions and more in the Settings page! (#19519) (#19889) * Windows Terminal now supports the Kitty Keyboard Protocol, which allows applications to receive the state of modifier keys, disambiguate <kbd>Esc</kbd> from <kbd>Ctrl+[</kbd>, and more (#19817) * You can now configure Terminal to persist only the layout of your windows and none of the content

We kept Windows Terminal 1.24 out of the stable channel for an extra release cycle just to make sure it was up to par, and now it is. Welcome to 1.24. 1.24 brings a handful of new features and a load of bug fixes, including: * Command Palette now searches simultaneously in English and your display language (unless that language is English). * There is a new page in Settings where you can see and control _extensions,_ including all of our automatic profile detectors and any [fragment extensions] you may have installed. * Icons, background images, pixel shaders, and sounds can now use relative paths for both local settings and [fragment extensions]. * Unfortunately, however, we have had to disallow the use of icons available via the web (`http`, `https` and `ftp` URIs) as well as on some network shares to prevent information leakage, tracking pixels and extension providers "phoning home". Support for automatic detection of SSH hosts is not currently present in this release. Please see the following release notes for additional details: * [Windows Terminal Preview v1.24.2372.0](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases/tag/v1.24.2372.0) * [Windows Terminal P
