You can set an account picture or profile picture in Windows 11. This allows you to personalize your account and identify it more easily.
So an account image gives you the opportunity to personalize your profile and show a visual representation of yourself or something you like. It adds a touch of individuality to a user account.
There are two ways to create an account image. You have the choice of creating an account image via a camera or by setting an image yourself via an image file. You can select this image file yourself on your computer and set it as a profile photo for a user account.
Set or change account picture in Windows 11
To get started, open the settings. In the settings, click on “accounts” on the left and then click “your info” in the account settings.
As mentioned earlier, there are two ways to set a profile photo or account image. The first way is through the camera. This allows you to take a photo of yourself via the camera. This photo is then automatically set as a profile photo.
The second way is to select an image file on your computer. This could be a photo but also an illustration or something else. As long as it is an image file type, you can set it as your profile picture. Please note that this profile picture is visible on the login and lock screens in Windows 11.
Click on the “browse files” button. Then go to the folder where the user profile image is located and click “choose image”.
You will now see the set image for the user account or profile photo in the settings. Restart your computer to apply the image to other areas in Windows 11, such as the login and lock screens.
I hope this helped you. Thank you for reading!
