Display Windows Username from WSL Bash

This article introduces a method to output the Windows username from the WSL Linux Bash command line, rather than the WSL Bash Linux username.

echo $(cmd.exe /c “echo %USERNAME%”)

The above command is executed in the following steps:

1. cmd.exe /c “echo %USERNAME%” is executed, and the Windows username is output.
2. echo $(cmd.exe /c “echo %USERNAME%”) is executed, and the Windows username output in step 1 is displayed.
