Get-CimInstance Win32_UserAccount |? {
$_.Caption -eq ( Get-CimInstance
Win32_ComputerSystem ).UserName
}

Thankyou sir, that appears to work well indeed
A kick in the right direction would have sufficed, but that’s sorted me nicely 😊

This isn’t the fastest (using .NET would be), but it’s easy to understand:
$username = ( gwmi win32_computersystem ).username.ToString()
$sid = ( gwmi win32_useraccount |? { $_.Caption -eq $username } ).SID
gwmi win32_userprofile |? { $_.SID -eq $sid }

OK, I’m having a ditzy moment
I’m trying to query profile type in PowerShell using gwmi
Specifically gwmi win32_userprofile | select localpath, status
But this returns all users on the machine – how can I make it return just the
current user? I’m having a severe blonde moment – help!
(Apologies to all blondes on the list)
Cheers,
