Why do i get i:0#.w|domain\\username and within RunWithElevatedPrivileges domain\apppool?
The prefix (i:0#.w|) before the username is just an internal code so that SharePoint can identity the type of authentication (w: windows auth, f: formsbased, etc...). The i in the code is to identify that it is a user. FYI if you would try to write out a group, the prefix would be c instead of i.
The fact that you don't have a prefix in elevatedprivileges is that this will always be the admin/pool-account which will always be a windows user - so no need to add the prefix...

When i do
Console.WriteLine(SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.LoginName);
i get the following response:
i:0#.w|domain\\username
When i do
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate() { Console.WriteLine(SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.LoginName); });
i get
domain\appPoolAccount
without
i:0#.w|
... within the loginname.Is someone able to explain why this happens?

STORM about 8 yearsBut one question: i have tested this this morning under SP 2010 and this does not happen there. Is this SP 2013 specific?

Verthosa about 8 yearsMy guess would be that your 2010 machine is only configured for using windows authentication? I am not sure but i want to guide you to this link which has a thorough explanation about the claims prefixes: wictorwilen.se/Post/…
