Ubuntu – How to change default user in WSL Ubuntu bash on Windows 10

userswindows-subsystem-for-linux

I installed the WSL Bash on Windows 10 and set my user to e.g. 'abc' but now I want to change it to something else.

How can I change the user name of the user I'm logged in as?

When I open bash it automatically logs me in with my current user.

Now that LxRun.exe is deprecated, if you install Ubuntu from the Windows store the command you will need is 

ubuntu config --default-user <username>

Restart LxssManager service

sc stop LxssManager
sc start LxssManager
