As you've heard, the new Windows Terminal has been released. What I can't find is how to adjust the window size. In the old consoles, if you wanted to change the settings, it would give you a GUI, but with the new console, you need JSON commands. I've tried a couple of commands which were initialCols and initialRows but they didn't work for me, and I have tried to search for a solution for a while. Is there another way for me to adjust the window size or is it just not possible as in this point in time?

Open Terminal's settings.json file in a text editor (e.g. notepad), either from the Settings menu or from disk at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState and add the following two lines (with the numbers you want to set instead of 92x60).

 "initialCols": 92, "initialRows": 60,

As noted in the Global settings in Windows Terminal documentation, those two lines should go under the root of the settings.json file, for example right above profiles.

 // A profile specifies a command to execute paired with ... "profiles": { ... }

Note: the two commands should be under profiles, not on defaults.

This can be done in the GUI:

  1. Open the settings.
  2. Go to the Startup tab.
  3. Scroll down and expand Launch size.
  4. Adjust Columns and Rows to the size you want.
