Hey that was a brilliant idea, I was trying to jump through hoops to change the picture. Instead I just used the Settings app to choose the new style default image and it now displays correctly.
...

Ok thank you.

I manually solved this issue, by using the Settings app to choose the default icon and now it displays the correct default icon.

Both the broken account and my current account are on the same Microsoft account so they should both sync the same, either the blurry old one or the current new one.

I followed that tutorial and changed the account picture. After restarting the machine though, the broken account is still broken, my new account still has the new style icon and the other two (one a...

Thanks dalchina,

I copied over the fonts from a new user where they displayed correctly and the issue has resolved.

Do you have any suggestions for the user account icon?

Thank you Brink it turns out to be a fonts issue which has been resolved.

Would this solve the Network icons issue I'm having too?
Or is this specific to application icons that are displayed in the tray area?
Thanks

It finished updating a few hours before, as far as I remember. Definatly not at the time.

Well what should I do then? If Chrome uses too much CPU to really use it, Firefox just doesn't go with Windows, Edge is a none starter... What next??

Here is a shot of Firefox.
Again only using 3 tabs, it has seven processes. Using over 50% CPU.

It's slower than any other web browser I've tried.
It just doesn't load, (nothing to do with internet connection since other browsers do work). Takes much too much resources.
It just doesn't move...

I've tried using Firefox and Edge.
Edge is a waste of time. Firefox works similar to Chrome, also uses about same CPU.
(I'll try get a pic of Firefox.)
