List user names in command prompt

To list the user names having accounts on the local system, you can run the following command from Command Prompt in Windows 11 or Windows 10.

net user

This lists local user accounts, not just users who are currently signed in.

List domain user accounts

If the computer belongs to an Active Directory domain, we can use /domain to list accounts from that domain:

net user /domain

The computer needs to be able to contact its domain controller.

Find the current user name

If you only want the account running the current Command Prompt, use:

whoami

This shows the domain or computer name followed by the user name.
