Windows 10: I am having issue adding my picture to my user profile

Hello, I am having issue adding my picture to my user profile. I have signed up using a Microsoft account but my picture wasn't synced. When I try to add it, it shows me error code 0x80190001, correlation ID: {52E5C606-8199-4838-BBF7-1EBE1310D2FB}. The issue isn't just the picture, I am worried my laptop has more issues because I have just bought it. I'd really appreciate your help. Thank You!

User.000 issue after updating to 1909

I'm one of the many people suffering from issues with user profiles after applying Update 1909 to Windows 10. I've read all the threads I can find on the topic here and have followed the suggestions, all to no avail. Any other thoughts are appreciated.

After applying Update 1909, the ProfileImagePath was changed to c:\users\User.000
One file that was always in use and couldn't be removed was left in c:\users\User (can't recall or find the exact file now), so I could never rename or remove the c:\user\User directory.

I followed the multiple suggestions from Brink and others:

• Rebooted at least 6 times
• Enabled hidden Administrator
• Booted into Safe Mode
• Changed ProfileImagePath
• Tried to rename c:\users\User but couldn't because a file was still in use
• Copied all data from c:\users\User.000 into c:\users\User
• Rebooted and had temporary profile
• Followed steps in Brink tutorial to change ImageProfilePath; rebooted with no change
• Restored using Restore Point from before Update 1909 - returned to single profile state (User.000)
• Removed each update that was installed individually and rebooted after each update removal - profile state never changed
• After all updates were removed, repeated the steps above with hidden Administrator, changing profile, etc. - same issue with file in use in c:\users\User
• Followed all steps above with hidden Administrator but without copying files from User.000 to User - same results

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

 

User profile picture

Hello Faris,

Thank you for posting your concern here in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

We appreciate the effort you have put in to resolve the issue. I would like to assist you further from here.

From the description of the issue, I understand that Windows Welcome Screen does not display the profile picture upon logon.

To be able to assist you better, provide us few more details on the below questions.

- Are you the only user on the computer?

- Have you set a password to your user account?

As an initial recommendation, I would suggest you to change the default behavior and check if that enables the welcome screen.



Follow these steps:

a. Type “netplwiz” (without double quotes) in the Start search box and hit Enter.

b. Under “Users” tab, check the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" option.

c. Click “Apply” and “OK” to save the settings.

Refer to the below link on how to Change a Profile Picture.

Hope the above information was helpful. If you need further assistance, please do let us know and we would be happy to help you further.

Thank You.

 

The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded.

Hello,

When attempting to login to my computer, I get the following message:

"The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in.

User profile cannot be loaded."

I referred to this Help article,You receive a "The User Profile Service failed the logon” error
message,

but the only difference is I only have one user profile on this computer. So, I can't login with another user to go through the steps listed in this post.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
