Windows 10: Account picture error. Setting the account picture failed.

Account picture error. Setting the account picture failed. Please try again.

Just installed the new Windows 10 v1809 Build 17763.55 LTSC 2019 EnterpriseSN Version N

have the default grey person avatar...

every time I try to change my avatar to any custom image I get the following error.
"Account picture error. Setting the account picture failed. Please try again."

Things I tried already

• sfc /scannow
• DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
• chkdsk C: /f /r /x
• Apply the default user logon picture to all users via gpedit.msc
• %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures
• ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures
• ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData
• Taking ownership of the directory\files as well as renaming directory to "*.old"
• Creating a new user-account
• Windows 10 In-Place Upgrade / Reset / Refresh

Nothing above has seemed to work as its still not changing my windows login screen / user avatar...


Out of ideas...

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

As you are unable to change the profile picture on Windows 10, please do let us know how exactly you are trying to change it.

I suggest you to try the below and check if it helps to change the profile picture.

Steps:

• 
  Log-in with administrator account.
  
• 
  Go to system root drive on which
  Windows is installed currently, that is usually C: drive.
  
• 
  Click on View
  in the title bar, then check the Hidden items. Now click the
  ProgramData folder.
  
• 
  Navigate to Microsoft\User Account Pictures.
  
• 
  In the User Accounts Pictures folder, you’ll see the default user account pictures. You’ll just need to replace these pictures with your desired picture for user account.
  
• 
  Manipulate your desired image for user account picture in the same format and same size and
  replace the default ones.
  
• 
  Now reboot the system and you’ll be able to get your desired image as user account picture.
