**The problem:** when you first open the JackTrip Desktop app on a Windows computer, it opens an extra Terminal window with a warning message about “weakjack”
**Summary:** this is caused by a regression bug in Windows 11. Microsoft has fixed the bug, but not yet released the update to everyone. You can safely ignore and close the Window.
Windows 11 includes a new Terminal application that introduced a regression bug from Windows 10. You can find more information about this bug [here](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/14416). The Microsoft team fixed the bug in [this release](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases/tag/v1.17.1023). It will eventually be rolled out to everyone using Windows 11 via automated updates.
In the meantime, there are a few ways you can mitigate this issue:
1. Just close the Window. It is harmless and the warning can be ignored.
2. Change your Default Terminal Application
- Open up windows terminal window (or use the one that JackTrip opened for you) and click on the down chevron, then open “Settings”
- Select “Windows Console Host” as your “Default Terminal Application”
- Click Save
- Close it
1. Upgrade Windows Terminal
- Download and install the latest release of Windows Terminal ([v1.17.1023](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases/download/v1.17.1023/Microsoft.WindowsTerminalPreview_Win11_1.17.10235.0_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle) or later)

Thanks for this info Mike! Good to know that eventually it will stop with a Microsoft update. I’ll close my ticket on github!

This can now be solved by upgrading to the [latest version of the Microsoft Terminal in the App Store](https://aka.ms/terminal)

Thanks Mike! Without upgrading, I noticed yesterday that the terminal screen now disappears right away as it should!

That is great news! I noticed the same thing on one of my computers, and wasn’t sure if it was because I manually upgraded or not. They must have pushed 1.17 out via auto-updates!
For people who still run into this problem, the next release (1.10) will include a much more friendly message, with instructions on how they can fix it:
