Since windows services run in Session 0, I don't think it'll show what Wall.E wants.
On the other hand, I forgot that the current console user can be found on Win32_ComputerSystem as well. I've tested the following code can get console user name on service.
private string GetConsoleUser()
string username = String.Empty;
ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope("\\\\.\\root\\cimv2");
ManagementObjectCollection compQuery = new ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, new SelectQuery("select * from Win32_ComputerSystem")).Get();
foreach (ManagementObject item in compQuery)
username = Convert.ToString(item["username"]);
return username;
