Most of your terminal issues can be resolved by using http://cmder.net

Don't underestimate Microsoft's willingness to keep their system as a minimum that gets enhanced by third parties.

I honestly don't get why people recommend cmder. It's really slow, even compared to the slower terminals on Linux. Also, and more importantly, xterm emulation seems to be utterly broken. I get weird incorrect lines shown all the time.

I found the WSL console to be a at least a bit more reliable.

Also don't underestimate our willingness to try and make our inbox stuff better - it just takes a lot of time to add new features without breaking some back-compat. We're hard at work improving conhost every day :)

I actually just installed that before you mentioned it, and disabled its sound in the volume mixer. Finally something I can live with in terms of terminal.
