Hello romanmensch,
Did you try changing Profile picture from OWA? Also, may I know from where you tried changing Profile picture in M365?
Thanks & Regards,

The profile photo has been changed on the web. A link leads there e.g. from Excel. Change Picture -> to Delve https://delve.office.com/. Do you think it would make a difference in the OWA? In the Outlook 365 local client there he would have changed it automaticaly. But if you connect e.g. without VPN, only the initials come in Excel and with VPN company network the old picture appears in the Excel. However, this only applies locally to Office in the products PowerPoint, Excel and Word. We even provided the user with a new computer and unfortunately the same problem.
Thanks & Regards
