I know this is the wrong audience, but you can type cmd into explorer and it will launch a terminal in that directory (I think this works with any command in your path)
Indeed. Also, tried this when I saw it and was surprised that, not only did the Terminal app show up first, but I saw no ads in the start menu at all. Turns out the settings I set on my Windows 11 partition back in 2022 are still there, and I just don’t see stuff like this.
Like yes, I prefer Linux and wish Windows 11 didn’t have so much crap like this, but… It’s so easy to turn most of it off and move on. Changed them once when I set up this machine and haven’t touched them since. Maybe I’m lucky, but I never had an update change back settings, either.

I’m more of a shift-right click > PowerShell kind of person, but this is good to know

Another option: use windows+r and type the exact name of the executable, the first time, and then it will remember it next time.
Also, can right click on the start menu and then click terminal
this is actually incredible, thanks
