Windows command line window scroll limit

Question

How to set Windows 10 command line window to unlimited scroll by default, like in Ubuntu?

I've set the only two possible option in the property dialog that may be related to buffer to 999, but still get overflowed.

Answer 1

The maximum limit in Windows conhost.exe is 9999 lines. You can't set it to unlimited

• Set Windows Command Prompt with Unlimited Buffer Size
• More lines in command window

Even Windows Terminal doesn't support infinite scrollback. There's an issue created for that on Github

Answer 2

Windows terminal might not, but if you set scroll back to MAXINT lines, you get (2**31)-1 lines in putty. The best way is to fill it with '9's, it will default down to MAXINT, then save it in the profile, and it always comes up this way.

Works great.
