Check this link which talks about getting current loggedin user from window service -

Taken from above link itself -

There can be 0 or more current logged in users. If you want all of the 0 or 1 users who are currently logged in at the console then P/Invoke to WTSGetActiveConsoleSessionId and WTSQuerySessionInformation. If you want all of the users then you'll need to call WTSQuerySessionInformation in a loop.
