This article explains launching the Terminal app in the center or edge of your screen in Windows 11.
Windows Terminal is a modern host application for the command-line shells, including Command Prompt, Windows PowerShell, and bash (via Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)).
There are many customizations one can make to the Terminal app in Windows. You can change the language, adjust the launch size, set the default profile, change the startup behavior, open the admin window, open Terminal automatically at startup, add copy selection to the clipboard automatically, automatically hide the Terminal window, hide the Terminal app in the notification area when minimized, keep the Terminal icon visible on the taskbar, and more.
When you launch the Terminal app, it opens closer to the edge on the left. You can change where the app launches on your screen, including in the center.
Center launching the Terminal app can be useful for users who prefer to have their applications and windows organized in the middle of their screen. It can also make it easier to access the Terminal app quickly without searching for it among other open applications.
Additionally, if you have a larger screen, center launching the Terminal app may help make it more accessible and easier to use.
