Windows 10: Account Log On Picture Keeps Changing!

I have 3 accounts on my new laptop as follows:

account 1 - admin, local
account 2 - user, Microsoft account
account 3 - user, local

Account 2 randomly keeps picking up the account photos for account 1 at the login screen and vice versa.

I can see both images at %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures in each account. I deleted the photos from there and tried to set the accountpictures folder read only but the issue persists.

Any ideas how to fix it?
