I'm 72 - so probably not enough breath left ... ! [/COLOR]

You're quite right of course. I had two main sub-directories under Pictures - one containing 'technical' images that I probably never want to see again - but want to keep 'just in case'; the other...

That's a relief that it's not just me, at least.

Perhaps someone else might see this and have a workaround or suggestion for getting back to the good old ways...?

No tweaks - I decided tweaking Windows 10 was a dangerous thing at the outset!

Interestingly, I just tried yet again to change the location via personalise, and tried a sub-folder again, and it...

Has anyone else experienced this? Just been updated to Creators (after several failed attempts using loads of valuable bandwidth!) and this has broken my background slideshow settings, leaving my two...

Sorry - I should have been a bit more precise What I did was: copy, not move, every existing file to the new directory - all .bpms, .pngs, and .dats; then in the original directory, just...

I would suggest not deleting them. Instead, create an adjacent new folder like 'User Account Pictures-Old' and move the files there (to be returned should you want them again later). Then, using an...

I was worried you might say that; however, I can't go through all that just resolve an annoying glitch that MS should hopefully resolve in due course.

In the meantime, I have followed instead the...

I usually try this at the same time that all other attempts fail - just in case - and always get the same originally quoted error warning:

I just knew I was not thinking clearly ... I have just changed the picture via my MS account onlne and toggled the sync off and on again; I closed settings and opened again and then took this...

Sorry again! - I am still being old and stupid. Which 'Settings' do you mean? I can't find an 'OPTION ONE' with a 'step 5A' - unless it is one of your forum pages perhaps?

Thanks for the suggestion - and noted Brink's observation - but just in case, I have cleared all cookies before and after trying again each of the options previously suggested. But no change, I...

Sorry - I'm being a bit dim here ... I am not quite sure of what/from where you want me to take a screenshot.

[NB have tried everything again today and there is still no change]

Thanks anew ... I have now tried this as well - reverting back to local then back to MS account log-in, but it makes no difference. Additionally, I tried at the same time (and again separately) to...

Been out all day today, so only just checked PC. Regrettably there is still no change to the PC account picture. I've also read a load more web pages of complaints about this same problem - the...

Yes it is stubborn ... I wouldn't mind so much if it was not such a horrible little default image!! I know I am getting old and very grumpy with it, but ... grrr!

Anyway - sorry, but I have tried...

Thanks for such a quick reply. I had already tried turning sync on and off, but did try your other routes again as well for this - although the third one didn't seem to be appropriate in this...

Hello - I am brand new to Win 10 and have been resisting installation till this week. So now I have a notebook on Win 10 Home and a PC on Win 10 Pro. I upgraded the notebook first from the persistent...
