How can I use CMD to find out to which WiFi network i am connected?

Question

I am in need to find out via the command line to what WiFi network I am connected, is there a command to find out?

Is it not possible to simply look in the network and sharing centre, or even hovering over the WiFi icon in the taskbar? — Ctrl-alt-dlt, Sep 26, 2016 at 14:09

This will show the profiles the current profile is the connection

Netsh wlan show profiles

Other example: SSID is the current connected wifi.

Netsh WLAN show interfaces

On my Windows 10, show profiles just shows the saved network profiles and show interfaces provides the active profile. Thanks for the answer.

netsh wlan show profiles

The one you are using right now is Current User Profile.

"Current User Profile" doesn't appear on my Windows 10. And yes, I'm connected.
