    done for today, it should work on w11 without a problem,
    update, size, get pid of main wt file, process count detection, etc, etc
    some of the things ware re-written over & over
    everything was fixed today,
    I hope not to find any more compliable issues
    sit on this for a couple of hours (trial & error)

    Interesting case found while playing with terminal
    Set terminal as default ( need w.11 for that )
    Press start cmd, enter, new terminal will be open
    manual start any cmd script ( on new terminal )

    We have this ..
    Svchost -- wt.exe ---- this is the main window !
    Explorer -- wt.exe -- cmd.exe -- cmd.exe --- this is our cmd !
    ( This wt.exe it just a dummy parent )

    Also found that handles check, will always work
    Parents process check, sometimes give false results
    But if terminal it's not the default host
    No matter what, any cmd run under terminal window,
    Will be sub process...

    So either I always check the handles...
    Or I can do 2 check.. case default.. case not

    According to this ..
    I will make necessary changes
    Wait till next release :D

    So RTool doesn't work with Windows Terminal? I guess powershell window is the way to go under windows 11

    Work ... Why not ?
    Spend on it more than 14 hours if not more
    It was a nice research, found interesting things
    Found new solution, also shared them on terminal GitHub page
    Some are very very stupid :p

    LTSC 2019/2021 But > you can use any source
    and select LTSC channel for installation
    from source of Current channel, **you can install LTSC channel too

    ** using old version of setup.exe, like in RTool.
    the newer one don't enable that anymore

    8 already downloads a real VL version. What is the benefit converting a VL to VL again ?

    Found the secret char that will enable -
    using space in choice command,
    and the bonus, it work on the new terminal too.

    ( first time i see it on black bird script, replaced ESC char that non function well )
    ( btw I don't know what char is this ?!? )

    Code:
        if not defined break (
            for /f %%a in ('copy "%~f0" nul /z') do (set "break=%%a")
        )
      
        choice /C:AR /N /M "!break!   ############################[ 'A'ccept / 'R'eject ]############################"

    Basically, this tool downloads, installs and activates the apps of all editions of Microsoft 365. Right?

    Thanks

    The last bug in terminal was fixed
    Improve main menu & welcome menu screen size
    It will work on normal terminal with no scaling
    Or even custom font & scaling,
    Also fixed the choice questions space problems
    Replace faulty esc char with other special char ..
    Will upload the new version tomorrow
