How to Find the Current User on Windows

Using the Start Menu

1. 
   Open your computer's Start menu. The Start menu button looks like four squares in the lower-left corner of your screen.
2. 
   Enter %USERNAME% into the search box. Click the search box on the Start menu, and enter this line into it. This will search and find the User Accounts application from your Control Panel.

   1. If %USERNAME% doesn't bring User Accounts in the search, try searching %ACCOUNT%.
3. 
   Press ↵ Enter on your keyboard. This will open your User Accounts window.
4. 
   Find your username in the User Accounts window. Your current username is displayed in your User Accounts settings.
