How to Change Account Picture in Windows 10

You may be aware that Windows 10 automatically assigns the user account picture. Windows automatically choose a silhouette for every new user account. The user account picture is changeable, and you can modify it at any time as per your wish and choice. 

Either you can snap a photo of yourself by using the PC’s camera (webcam) or you can choose a photo from the picture folder located on your computer.

Before proceeding to the actual procedure of changing the account picture, you must know that the picture you choose for your account should preferably be having the same dimensions, i.e. square shape. Moreover, you do not have to worry about the size of the picture, as windows automatically adjust the picture size.

Lastly, you must have the administrative permission to change your account picture, and you cannot change the account picture if you are using a guest account.
