Managing profiles and sync in Microsoft Edge on Windows 10
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
The new Microsoft Edge won't update my profile picture; it is still using an old one.
Steps that I have taken:
1. I have updated the picture twice online in my Microsoft account.
2. I have deleted the old picture from both of my Windows 10 systems.
3. I have deleted my Edge profile several times.
4. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Edge.
Nothing that I have done seems to help. Would like to know if this is a bug or something else is going on.

I also have the same problem. I signed out, again signed in.
What helped me is I just signed out of my account in the browser and then signed in again. :)
That worked for me. I was closing down the browser and reopening it and that wasn't enough. I had to actually sign completely out, then sign back in with that account. That fixed it.

I have been trying to get my new profile picture updated to no avail. Someone suggested to log out and log in again.
I tried the suggestion, and the magic happened. The picture is updated now.
But, I think Microsoft need to solve this issue at their end. No issue with CHROME.
To Microsoft do not let this small issues become a reason why people head back to Chrome.
Must be a bug. I guess all we can do is wait.
I guess so. Hopefully, there will be a New Edge update with the Windows 10 May 2020 Feature Update to fix this.
