For some reason my new Windows install isn’t displaying my profile image on login screen.

After many hours of digging it turned out the settings app which handles changing profile image doesn’t update the registry correctly. Namely it’s missing Image200. There are entries for other size but for some reason this install doesn’t set that specific one.

I’m not sure what caused it but for now adding the entry manually fixes it.

The entry is located at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AccountPicture\Users\{USER-SID}

I also had to takeover ownership of the key.

Edit: WAIT NEVERMIND. My other install (which I used as reference) turned to also show exactly same problem. And so does my laptop with latest updates. There’s only one system which doesn’t have the problem but I haven’t updated it recently so it’s most likely broken by one of the recent updates.
