Windows 10 keeps changing my logon picture

Thanks to everyone who responded, but this was solved two years ago.

This usually happens because Windows is syncing account info across users, even when you sign in with local accounts.

Most common cause is Microsoft account sync, not Edge or Chrome.

Try this:

• Go to Settings → Accounts → Sync your settings

Turn Sync settings OFF (especially Theme and Other Windows settings) on both accounts.

• Go to Settings → Accounts → Your info

Make sure each account is set to Local account, not “Sign in with a Microsoft account instead”.

• Reset your account picture manually

1. Go to Settings → Accounts → Your info
2. Set your picture again
3. Restart the PC

• Optional (if it keeps happening):

Delete cached account images:

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures

Then reboot and set the picture again.

Summary:

Windows is reusing synced account data between users. Turning off Windows sync (not browser sync) and resetting the account picture usually fixes it.

The default user account picture images are in the hidden system folder below.

%ProgramData%\Microsoft\User Account Pictures 

Your current user account picture is stored in the hidden folder below.

C:\Users\Public\Public Account Pictures\S-1-5-21.......(GUID for user account)

Settings -> Personalization. Set the Waller paper to a picture instead of slideshow by default.

This is similar to customizing your player profile in a game. Manually setting your picture and turning off features like Fun facts is like adjusting your avatar and disabling optional overlays or notifications you get a cleaner, more https://bowmastermodapk.org/ without distractions. It keeps your profile looking exactly how you want and avoids extra clutter while navigating the system.

In Settings > Accounts > Your info, manually set your picture and turn off switches such as Fun facts below.
