How to Overcome Account Picture Error Windows 8/8.1/10
Changing account photos on windows is a common thing to do to mark that the laptop is yours. However, in some cases there are those who cannot replace photos on windows. The most common cause is because windows is not activated, but for the error “Account Picture Error Setting the account picture failed. Please try again.” caused by other things, which I myself don’t know the cause of, but on the outside web (other country websites) there is a solution and know the cause.
Steps to Change Photos Manually:
1. Change the “View” setting to be like this
2. Then go to C:/Program Data/Microsoft/User Account Pictures
3. You will find some default photos from Microsoft, change these photos to your photos by adjusting:
- The image format (.bmp & .png)
- Size (you can edit via Paint – Resize – Pixels, change to follow the default size of Microsoft photos)
- Photo name (must be exact, if changed then the photo will not be replaced)
4. If everything is appropriate, restart the laptop and see the results!
