Profile picture not showing up in the Settings Header

I am using the latest Windows Insider Release Windows 10 Build 20190.rs_prerelease.200807-1609. Settings header is enabled but it is not showing my profile picture in the header. I tested with the default Admin account. The default user profile pic shows
up in the header for this Admin account. My account is also an Admin account. But it is not showing my profile pic. It was showing the profile pic before I updated to 1909 build. But after that it is not showing the profile pic in the Settings Header. It is
showing the profile pic in all other necessary places like the login screen, My Microsoft Account page in the website, Start Menu, etc. It is not showing the pic only in the Settings header. How to resolve this?
