  1. Microsoft Account Picture Issue


    I set a profile photo for this account around 2017. Now I have a new picture up but whenever I open my account on my Windows PC it displays both my current photo and my previous photo together. I can't figure out how to remove it completely. Lol the photo is of myself with my ex girlfriend. I very much want to never see it again. Please assist.



    I had to stop using Microsoft Edge for this very reason. I removed the picture from my account but still it appeared in the top right corner of the browser for months -____-

    :)

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
