I really miss the old snappy windows console, AFAIK it is no longer accessible on win11. I run semi-scripted actions at work and the new windows terminal has an annoying startup latency.
There are some interesting combinations of Settings. You can have Terminal startup with your Windows login and always running in the background, which is essentially why the old consoles were so "snappy", the classic ConHost was always running, even when there are no console windows to display.
If you leave it always running you can also try Win+` for "Quake mode".
