This tutorial will show you different ways to see all user accounts on your Windows 11 PC.

Windows allows adding multiple user accounts to use the same device, enabling each user to have their own settings, documents, and applications.

Other than user accounts (local and Microsoft) you added, Windows also includes hidden built-in and system/service accounts by default.

Seeing a list of all accounts on the computer can be useful for troubleshooting and to make sure you know about them.
