My team shipped the next generation (after ANSI.SYS) of VT support with the first release of Windows 10 back in 2015. We keep adding things to it, trying to make sure we stay compatible with Xterm. It really is a different landscape now :)

The console subsystem is open-source at https://github.com/microsoft/terminal. Feel free to file bugs, complain, or what have you. That’s what we’re here for!

To quote GP, “better late than never, I hope”.

Is there anyway to get the new terminal working on Windows 10 LTSC? It seems as though a newer version of Windows is required. A backport maybe?

Unfortunately, we’ve got a couple dependencies on platform features that first shipped in 1903. Whether we can divest ourselves of those dependencies has been the topic of significant discussion recently! No promises, but we’ll do what we can.
