Articl misses a key section on How to Reset the Settings #91
Comments
There is no reason to reset your settings when you upgrade Terminal. It's intentional that it keeps your settings from the old version. |
I disagree. It seems Windows Terminal version 1.0.1811.0 disagrees with
that statment too. I am sure after you see this you would agree too.
Windows Terminal seems to disagree with you too.

No amount of uninstalling rebooting and reinstalling works here.

To add one more thing; this doesn't get fixed by resetting by resetting
via All Settings: App Features: Windows Terminal: Advanced Options, Reset

Your images are not visible. GitHub cannot process images sent as e-mail attachments. |
Two things about that comment you shared a screenshot of.
Your file explorer screenshot shows that you have some old versions of Windows Terminal in the WindowsApps folder. This folder is not used for user settings. This folder contains files that were part of the Windows Terminal application archive. |
If you carefully read the message below it doesn't tell you how to reset it. (That's what I am looking for in this document.) This only tells you how to view the default settings. // To view the default settings, hold "alt" while clicking on the "Settings" button. In the mean time if you look at the following two files; you can see that my current settings file has far less settings than the defaults.json file. Defaults&MyCurrentSettings.zip.zip As a result I have a very bare interface. Just copying the Json file and renaming it as settings.dat doesn't work either. Me and other's who are running into this issue would like to know how to resolve it by resetting the settings. So it work like as it should does with the newer installations. I think a clear explanation of how to do that in the troubleshooting section would help anyone who runs into this problem. |

Actually it doesn't show how to change the settings. It shows how to look
at the default settings by holding the Alt key while clicking on Settings.
When I do that I do see that default settings are completely different to
the settings I have. All I have is a generic set of settings. No colors.
Very limited profiles. But nothing tells me how to get those settings to
apply to my installation. As I said before reinstalling or resetting from
Advanced App Settings doesn't do anything.

1. It explains how to reset the settings.
2. It does not say that you *must* reset your settings. It just
explains that "sometimes, settings change.". It's not a requirement, it is
just another piece of information to help our users.

If a user has an older version and reinstalls the new version. Windows Terminal still keeps the old settings. This document doesn't mention in those cases how to reset the settings. Just uninstalling, rebooting and then reinstalling doesn't change the previous settings.
