Windows Terminal version

1.12.10983.0

Windows build number

10.0.22000.0

Other Software

oh-my-posh

Steps to reproduce

I changed my user folder's name like this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5_Q2BmTx3Y&ab_channel=SandeepSingh
But Oh My Posh path bar stills show the old user name.

Expected Behavior

I expected Oh My Posh path bar to show the new name, not the old name.

Actual Behavior

My old user folder name is [`Tom], and the new one is [Tom].

This is gonna sound like a dumb question, but did you actually reboot your PC after changing your username? I could easily see the shell caching that value. I forget if Windows forces a reboot or not.

Wait, did you change your username, or just the name of your %userprofile% folder/? Cause I'd suspect that Oh-My-Posh is using your user_name_, not the name of the directory.

@zadjii-msft correct, it displays the username. We map the home folder to ~ at all times without an option right now to override that. So this isn't an issue with terminal, but completely according to design looking at oh-my-posh.

Thanks very much for the answers, I got that the above tutorial just help me to change the display name of user and the mapping to its folder. I just changed user account's name by going to [Run->control userpasswords2]
