If you have created multiple user accounts on your Windows 11 PC over the years, you might want to know all the user accounts on your Windows 11 PC so that you can delete a user account that you do not use.
There are multiple ways to check the number of user accounts on a Windows 11 PC. The following are the five easy ways to view all user accounts on a Windows 11 PC.
NOTE 1: Some of these methods do not display the disabled/hidden user accounts.
NOTE 2: You need to sign in to an administrator account in order to view all user accounts.
Method 1 of 5
View all users from the Settings app in Windows 11
Step 1: Open the Settings app using search or Windows logo + I keyboard shortcut.
Step 2: In the left pane of the Settings app, click Accounts.
Step 3: On the right side, scroll down to see Other users. Click Other users to see all administrator and standard users.
Please note that this method does not display the currently signed-in administrator account and the hidden/disabled users list.
Method 2 of 5
View the sign-in screen to see all user accounts on a Windows 11 PC
As you likely have noticed by now, the sign-in screen, where you type your PIN or password, shows all user accounts at the bottom left. So, you can clearly see all the user accounts right on the login or sign-in screen.
Method 3 of 5
Use the Control Panel to view all user accounts on a Windows 11 PC
Step 1: Open the Control Panel using search or any other method.
Step 2: Change the Control Panel’s view to Small icons.
Step 3: Click User Accounts.
Step 4: Here, click the Manage another account link to see all user accounts on your Windows 11 PC, including the currently signed-in user account.
Once again, hidden user accounts do not appear here.
Method 4 of 5
Use Command Prompt to view all users in Windows 11
Step 1: Open Command Prompt as an administrator by typing CMD in the Start/taskbar search, right-clicking the Command Entry, and then clicking the Run as administrator option.
Click the Yes button when you see the User Account Control prompt.
Step 2: Type the net user and then hit the Enter key to get a list of all user accounts on your Windows 11 PC.
Method 5 of 5
Use Windows PowerShell to view all user accounts on a Windows 11 PC
Step 1: Use the search to open PowerShell.
Step 2: Type Get-LocalUser and then hit the Enter key to view a list of all user accounts on your Windows 11 PC. The best part is that the list also displays user accounts that are not enabled.
If you do not know, Windows automatically creates user accounts during installation, and they are disabled by default.
