• To check the Windows 11 accounts, open Settings > Accounts > Other users to view additional accounts.
  • Also, open Settings > Accounts > Family to check the Microsoft accounts in your family group.
  • Alternatively, open Command Prompt and use the “net user” command to view the accounts.
  • You can also use PowerShell and the Computer Management tool.

On Windows 11, the ability to check all the accounts configured on your computer can come in handy in many situations. For example, when you want to double-check a user already has an account on the system or when you need to know the hidden accounts available on your installation, such as the Administrator account, which usually is disabled by default.

If you need to view all the existing accounts, Windows 11 includes many ways to view this information using the Settings app, Computer Management, Command Prompt, and PowerShell.

In this guide, you will learn four ways to see a listing of every account available on Windows 11.

  • Check all Windows 11 accounts from Settings
  • Check all Windows 11 accounts from Computer Management
  • Check all Windows 11 accounts from Command Prompt
  • Check all Windows 11 accounts from PowerShell

  • Quick note: This page is limited because it doesn’t show built-in or disabled user accounts, such as the built-in “Administrator” account.

Once you complete the steps, you will have an overview of the accounts available on Windows 11. Also, you will notice that the current user account isn’t listed either, but that’s because this information appears on the “Your info” page.
