Get UserName in a Windows 10 C# UWP Universal Windows app

Question

I am struggling with yet another simple task in the Windows 10 UWP world.

I simply need the UserName of the current Windows user. Environment.UserName is just not a thing in UWP. And no amount of searching the web has helped so far. Hence my post here.

Anyone? Is this just not possible now?

Answer 1

// get username
public string UserNameStr { get; set; } = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name;

This will get you the full domain\username.
