How to list (see) all users via command line?


You can quite simply and quickly list all users (user accounts, user groups) or export them to a file.



This is available in both console app, the classic command prompt (cmd.exe) and Powershell (powershell.exe). Just start your preferred console, enter net user, and press Enter. This command lists all user accounts that exist in Windows, including hidden or disabled user accounts. These user accounts are listed with their internal name, which Windows uses in the background, not their full display name, which you see when you log in to Windows.
