Elsewhere, if your profile picture is not updating in Windows 11, we’ve outlined various ways to make it reflect on your device.

When changing your profile picture, ensure that you select a high-resolution image. Low-quality images may be unclear since the photo is cropped further to a small icon. Also, try to stick to portrait and up-close pictures to avoid further image deterioration in quality.
