How to run an executable in Windows Terminal?

I want to run an executable with Windows Terminal. Something like this:

wt.exe myConsoleApp.exe

But this only opens the Terminal itself.

Making the Terminal the default for all ps1, bat and command line exe files would work too.

If you're using Windows 11:

If wt.exe does not work, check if Windows Terminal / wt.exe is enabled under "App execution aliases" (in Settings).

Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features > App execution aliases. Check that the line containing wt.exe is checked. (click for photo)

You should include start when you want to run an executable. For example:

start wt.exe

Also note that, you should include the full file path if you are not currently on the directory of your executable file.
