Running & Debugging

To debug the Windows Terminal in VS, right click on CascadiaPackage (in the Solution Explorer) and go to properties. In the Debug menu, change "Application process" and "Background task process" to "Native Only".

You should then be able to build & debug the Terminal project by hitting <kbd>F5</kbd>. Make sure to select either the "x64" or the "x86" platform - the Terminal doesn't build for "Any Cpu" (because the Terminal is a C++ application, not a C# one).

👉 You will not be able to launch the Terminal directly by running the WindowsTerminal.exe. For more details on why, see #926, #4043
