Windows 10: Microsoft Account Profile Picture not Updating on Windows

I recently changed my profile picture on my Microsoft Account. However, it is not updating on Windows. Since I have connected my Microsoft Account with Windows, I assume that it should automatically synchronize, but it hasn't. I have also turned on all of my sync settings, and have connection to the internet on my device. Why is this? What can I do to make it synchronize?

Microsoft account profile picture

I changed my Microsoft account profile picture yesterday afternoon, my account is set to sync because before changing my account picture it was the previous one that was synced. So now it’s still the old Microsoft account picture, the store and apps show the new one but the account picture didn’t change and when I add a email account in mail, the icon is the old profile picture... so it’s like it did a 10% sync ... how long before I see the complete changes or sync.
