  • Impossible to change the administrator user account picture?

    Just create new pc with Windows 7 Professional. But can not change user account for my own image using the Browse tab?

    I have on my old pc Windows 7?

    Tried changing the setting 'Apply the default user logon picture' in gpedit does not?

    Kind regards

    Hi Davy,.

    You are the administrator of the account?

    As you have tried the default user logon image, create a new user account can help you determine if the problem is related to the corruption of user account.

    Otherwise, sign in with the account that has administrative rights and try to change the image.

    Create a new user account and check if the problem persists, if the problem does not persist in the new user account, then you can fix the damaged user account.
