   It opens Windows Terminal

   I think you set Windows Terminal as default terminal application.

   To add to 237dmitry's comment:

   In Windows 11, you can change what terminal (console) application console-subsystem applications such as PowerShell use, via the relevant setting in the Settings application - this setting applies system-wide, to all console applications, and is not controlled by PowerShell itself; the default value is Let Windows decide (I'm unclear on how it decides), which in your case apparently defaulted to Windows Terminal.

   • Run Start-Process ms-settings:developers to open the relevant page of the Settings application.
   • Under Terminal (the second item from the bottom in the main pane), select the desired terminal (console) app from the dropdown list; to return to the old-style console windows (provided via conhost.exe), select Windows Console Host.

   This can also be done using the registry:

   $ Get-Item HKCU:\Console\%%Startup
   
       Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console
   
   Name                           Property
   ----                           --------
   %%Startup                      DelegationConsole  : {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
                                  DelegationTerminal : {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}

   "Let Windows decide": {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
   "Windows Console Host": {B23D10C0-E52E-411E-9D5B-C09FDF709C7D}
   "Windows Terminal Preview": {06EC847C-C0A5-46B8-92CB-7C92F6E35CD5}

   For example "Windows Console Host":

   Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\Console\%%Startup -Name DelegationConsole -Type String -Value '{B23D10C0-E52E-411E-9D5B-C09FDF709C7D}'
   Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\Console\%%Startup -Name DelegationTerminal -Type String -Value '{B23D10C0-E52E-411E-9D5B-C09FDF709C7D}'
