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.
Managing profiles and sync in Microsoft Edge on Windows 10
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I have 3 Outlook/Live accounts, one of which came with a Windows 10 computer. I deleted it from the Accounts under Permissions. Each one has a different avatar or picture. Microsoft is completely confused by this. Sometimes I'd be in mail for one account and see the picture for another account that was not logged in. Some MS things came up with the old computer linked account even though I was logged in with a different account. It is hopeless. I assume that MS's failure to update may be affected by where you changed your profile (in Mail? In Accounts? Somewhere else?), because obviously they are saving this info in many different places that even they cannot keep track of.

I have the same error - profile picture in new Microsoft Edge won't update
What helped me is I just signed out of my account in the browser and then signed in again. :)
That does not solve the problem of having 3 outlook/live addresses and sometimes I'll be in one and it will show the avatar/picture of one of the other addresses. Doesn't have to be in Edge.
I admit, I have not seen this goof for awhile, but I am not sure if it is fixed or not. I took off the email from user accounts, maybe that helped. I can't add much, but if I don't keep this post going, they'll go and lock it (so irritating), and I'd still like some complete answers about Mail avatars and about being logged into, say, this forum, or into Feedback, or not logged in and it still chooses one of my avatars, which probably is not the one I use for Feedback or MS forums.
