Windows Terminal has no title bar and doesn't show tabs

OS: Windows 11

Build: 21H2 22000.258

Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor 4.00 GHz

RAM: 64.0 GB (63.9 GB usable)

It's a pretty fresh install of Windows too, because I did a fresh install when I got another WD Black SN850 2TB NVMe about a month ago .

I've been using CMDer / ConEmu / ZOC in the meantime, but I would love to figure out why this is happening.

I tried SHIFT + CTRL + T or whatever. It creates new tabs but doesn't show them.

Any ideas?

Solution 1:

Sounds like you may be in "Focus Mode" for Windows Terminal. That's how focus mode operates (no title bar, no tabs, but will create new tabs with Ctrl+Shift+T).

Try pressing Ctrl+Shift+P to get the Command Palette, then find and select "Toggle Focus Mode".

Then go into Settings and see if "Launch Mode" is set to "Focus". I'm guessing it is, and you just need to set it back to "Default".
