  hi,
  
  The QAP version? 10.5.6
  Was it installed using the Setup program or the Portable zip file? Portable zip
  What is your default file manager (if not Windows Explorer)? TC
  What is your Windows version? Win 10 2004
  
  
  
  I am trying to cd in cmd windows as explained in https://www.quickaccesspopup.com/can-i-c...owershell/ but it does not work. Cmd has focus when I invoke qap via Win-W, but TC changes direcory, not CMD. Do I need to configure something specific for this?
  
  Actually I was testing this as a first step only, to eventually try it in microsoft terminal ( https://github.com/microsoft/terminal ). If not already supported, more and more people will use it, would it be a welcome addition?
  
  thanks!

  Hi,
  
  I'm away from my office for a week. I could not test it with my portable PC (I do not have TC installed on it now). But this should work. Is CMD running in admin mode? This could explain why it does not respond to QAP input.

  Windows Terminal is not supported by QAP. I added this to the wishlist. Thanks for taking this to my attention.

  FYI, if you installed Windows Terminal from Windows Store, you can add it to your QAP menu as type "Windows App" and select the app "Microsoft.WindowsTerminal" (use the Refresh button if you just installed it when you create the favorite).

  I just tested with a cmd running under Admin, and same issue happens.
  
  I installed Windows terminal with chocolatey, so I won't be able to use that trick, thanks anyway
  
  and take your time Jean, no rush!

  QAP can control CMD ans PowerShell windows when these apps are *not* running in admin mode. If they are, QAP must also run as admin to control them. See this page for an explanation about a similar issue:
