Windows Terminal v1.15.2874 and v1.15.2875

v1.15.2874 (Windows 10) and v1.15.2875 (Windows 11) are servicing updates to Windows Terminal Stable v1.15. It is highly recommended that you install this version if you're using Windows 11 22H2 (October Update).

As a reminder, Terminal 1.12 was the last version of Windows Terminal that supports Windows 19H1 or 19H2.
Those versions of Windows went out of support in May, so you really may want to consider upgrading.

Preinstallation Kit info

A preinstallation kit is available for system integrators and OEMs interested in prepackaging Windows Terminal with a Windows image. More information is available in the DISM documentation on preinstallation. Users who do not intend to preinstall Windows Terminal should continue using the msixbundle distribution.

Why are there so many packages? How do I choose?

This version of Windows Terminal is distributed in two bundles, one of which works on Windows 10-11 and the other of which only works on Windows 11. The Windows 11 version is much smaller because we no longer need to work around a platform issue related to our dependencies.

If you intend on using Terminal as an unpackaged application--that is, extracting the msix file--we recommend that
you use the Win10 bundle. You will need the Visual C++ runtime redistributable.

In addition, if you install the packaged version on either Windows 10 or Windows 11, it now depends on the Visual C++ Universal Runtime Package.

Despite these distributions having different version numbers, they are built from the same code and there is no
functional difference between them.

If you install the Windows 10 version on Windows 11, it will probably automatically upgrade itself to the Windows 11
version.

This servicing release supersedes the v1.15.2712.0 release (not uploaded to GitHub) and contains the following bug fixes and changes:
