  1. Profile photo changed without consent


    I have never set a profile photo on Windows or on my Microsoft account, but this morning when I logged in to my computer I found that, without my consent, the system was using the profile photo from my website, and that this was also appearing as my profile photo in my Microsoft account. I have now deleted this photo from my Microsoft account, but my computer is still using it. So I have two questions:1 How do I delete the profile photo from my computer - preventing it appearing in "my info" in settings and on the login screen?Just to be clear, I do not want to change the photo to something

    :)

    Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

    Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

    I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

    Might be helpful to list what i've done Profile photo changed without consent :) I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

    I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.

  3. Profile photo change did not update everywhere

    Hi Malika,

    • From where and how did you changed the profile photo?
    • Did changing of profile photo completed successfully without any issues?
    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to run the Microsoft account troubleshooter and check if this helps.

    Microsoft Account Troubleshooter

    http://download.microsoft.com/downl...B-A23B-5C3A6B5974E3/microsoftaccounts.diagcab

    I also suggest you to install the latest Windows updates and check.

    Windows Update helps keep your computer up to date with the latest system updates and drivers which can resolve the issue you are facing. You can check Windows Update manually to help ensure you have the latest updates.

    • In search type Windows Updates
    • Click on Windows Updates
    • Click on Check for updates and install
      the latest windows updates.

    Kindly get back to us with the above information and status of the issue to assist you further.

    Thank You.
