    Now I can see there something. Guest & user.
    I dont know about these things? So What I have to do now?

    EDIT: I can see now what is shown into post number #4 on 1st page of this thread.
    Ok, good. To use that picture, you would just need to change your picture, browse to this folder location, and select the image file.

    I am sorry to ask it again. I am a bit confused now.
    Because I just dont understand it at all. All I want is to get back that Original Windows 10 pic that I had before I uploaded my own personal pics.

    I can now see what were informed on Post 4 in first page. But I just dont understand what to do next

    I've updated step 5 in OPTION ONE in the tutorial to help show you what to do to select the default account picture again. :)

    Sorry I am not able to get back the Original pic of Windows 10 back on my account pic.
    Maybe that I just didnt understand what you suggest. Because I can now only see there an pic that I uploaded. But I want to get back my real Windows pic that I had before all changes.
    Anyway, thanks for your support. Maybe I try it tomorrow again. Thanks

    Just to make sure that we are both on the same page, are you wanting the same picture below?

    Hi all
    I'm fighting for several weeks with a problem that maybe belongs to this thread! i set up a windows 10 IoT image with 4 users and gave the same user account picture to them. obviously this works as normal. the thing is, after i sysprep the system, the user account pics are gone.. replaced by nothing. in the folder you guys where talking about, %programData%\microsoft\user account pictures are the former pics stored with the ending .dat
    the million-dollar question is now, is there a way, getting the user pictures at sysprep back automatically? means, with a script?

    maybe some of you guys had the same issue? thanks a lot!

    I have the same error posted above when I try to change my account picture on one computer. ("Account picture error/Setting the account picture failed. Please try again.")

    I have been able to change the default pictures in %ProgramData%\Microsoft\User Account Pictures to one I want, but I don't like all users having my pic.

    I figured I could change just my account pic by directly editing it somewhere. However, C:\Users\Public\Public Account Pictures\S-1-5-21.......(GUID for user account) is empty. I thought I could therefore fill it with something from a computer with a working account pic, but it turns out my working computer just has a GUID, but no pic. I think this means that my actual profile pic must be stored somewhere else, not there. Any idea where? Reading this thread, I also looked at C:\Users\{your name}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures. That folder has my desired pic in it, but it's not used.

    I tried creating an empty folder with my GUID in C:\Users\Public\Public Account Pictures\ but that didn't help either.

    Any more ideas? Thanks!

    Hello thornburgh, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)

    Is this for a local account or Microsoft account?
