Get The Username/User Id Of Currently Logged In User In A UWP App

Question

I want to get the username or user id of the currently logged in user in a UWP app. Below is the code that I am using but it returns null.

Answer 1

var users = await User.FindAllAsync(UserType.LocalUser);
var user = (string) await users.FirstOrDefault().GetPropertyAsync(KnownUserProperties.AccountName);
var domain = "";
var host = "";

if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(user))
{
var domainWithUser = (string) await users.FirstOrDefault().GetPropertyAsync(KnownUserProperties.DomainName);
domain = domainWithUser.Split('\\')[0];
user = domainWithUser.Split('\\')[1];
}
