Can't type into Android Studio's built in terminal


This is an issue on Windows 10. To fix it, open a command prompt window (cmd.exe), then right click the title, and open Properties. Check Use legacy console, and it should go back to working (might need to restart Android Studio).


This behavior is a problem related to an incompatibility between IntelliJ (and then Android Studio) and the new windows 10 console

It is possible to bypass the problem enabling the legacy mode in the terminal options.

  1. Launch a command prompt from windows (win+r and then type cmd)

  2. Right click on the title

  3. properties

  4. options

  5. check Use legacy console, then click OK

Check Use legacy console

  1. Close the terminal and open another one (or just restart AndroidStudio, it works both ways)


This happens with Windows 10.I also experienced the same issue and Resolved with the following steps.

  • Step 1 Check Use Legacy Console in CMD Prompt
  • Step 2 Restart Android Studio
  • Step 3 Now try in Android Studio
