Microsoft blocks EdgeDeflector to force Windows 11 users into Edge

For what it’s worth, OpenConsole is conhost, and any improvements we make there go right back into Windows. We’ll probably[1] never get rid of conhost; the worst we’ll do is make it possible to update it without updating Windows so that folks don’t have to wait so long to get bug fixes.

[1]: so long as I am the engineering lead. You know how these big companies are :|

I could have sworn that OpenConsole is a complete rewrite of conhost. Having double-checked the terminal project's readme, though, I see that I was mistaken in this belief.

Do you have any plan for Terminal to be able to be the default console in Windows 10, just like it can in Windows 11?
