Microsoft is now classifying Windows Terminal as an inbox app, which means that it will now ship by default in upcoming versions of Windows 10.
Starting with Windows 10 Insider build 21337, Microsoft has classified Windows Terminal as an inbox app, which means it will be automatically installed as an essential application.
This is a good thing, as Windows Terminal is one of the best apps that Microsoft has released in a long time, other than maybe the Windows Subsystem for Linux,.
While the general release of Windows Terminal will automatically be installed in Windows 10, users can still install the Windows Terminal Preview version from the Microsoft Store.
Windows Terminal was not the only application classified as an Inbox app this week in Windows 10 build 21337.
These apps, including Windows Terminal, will be updated through the Microsoft Store, which means that they can receive updates outside the regular Windows 10 update schedule.
