Microsoft released two new builds for Windows Terminal on November 11, 2026, with stable build 1.25.3131.0 rolling out the mature 1.25 feature set, while Preview 1.26.3133.0 introduces reliability fixes and minor enhancements. These updates primarily focus on improving existing features rather than introducing new ones, emphasizing maintenance and polish. The Preview build includes innovative settings, such as disabling drag-and-drop tab management and an updated Serbian Cyrillic localization, while continuing to build foundational support for future AI-driven command-line tools. Overall, the release marks a maintenance milestone rather than a significant feature launch, with the more extensive 1.26 features still limited to the Preview channel

Windows Terminal 1.25 Hits Stable as 1.26 Preview Ships

Microsoft released two coordinated Windows Terminal builds on November 11, 2026, neither one a splashy feature drop. Stable build 1.25.3131.0 finally rolls the mature 1.25 feature set out to all users, while Preview 1.26.3133.0 services the upcoming channel and backports reliability fixes down into stable. The two are best understood as servicing releases, trading novelty for polish, though details like the Kitty Keyboard Protocol hint at Microsoft's push toward agentic command-line tools. If you live in a terminal, the incremental gains add up, though these aren't exactly a reason to panic-upgrade.
