Windows 10: Profile photo won't update

Hi. I changed my profile picture in my Microsoft account online but it won't change on my computer's account. It still shows the old one. I went to settings, accounts, and Your info and there is no option there to change it either. Why won't it update? And when I log out and back into my account in a browser it reverts back to my old one.

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 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.

Hi Malika,

• From where and how did you changed the profile photo?
