Visual Studio 2022: How to access the built in "Developer PowerShell" instead of the Windows PowerShell?

I can still access this if I use my old window layouts. So it still exists.

However, In VS 2022, if I try to open it from Tools>Command Line>Developer PowerShell, it just opens up a separate window:



Is there any way to open the built-in Developer PowerShell in VS 2022 without using old window layouts?

Answer 1

In a newer version of VS 2022, the Developer PowerShell has been moved to View > Terminal it seems. Confusingly, Tools > Command Line >Developer PowerShell opens up the Windows PowerShell.

Edit: It seems there's a new Developer PowerShell now that is accessible from the start menu as a separate executable. This is what opens up if you try to open Developer PowerShell from Tools in VS. The confusion comes from the integrated "terminal" still being named "Developer PowerShell".

Answer 2

Visual Studio 2022 Comm. Right click project in Solution Explorer to open context menu, there you will find "Open in Terminal" command.
