It's not here: %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures %ProgramData%\Microsoft\User Account Pictures %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy So it has to be embedded as bitmap in some .dll because I cannot find it anywhere in image format file. Does anyone know where it can be exactly? I need it for OS custom modification purpose & ready to go deployment. UseDefaultTile "1" registry method is not a solution because it prevents user from changing profile picture through Settings App and if I'm not mistaken, it has other limitations.
Usually in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures (as .dat file) or Microsoft account (as picture).
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData\S-1-5-18\ReadOnly\LockScreen_Z It takes years for Microsoft to resolve simple bugs in Windows 10 & 11 while they keep working hard to make everyone embrace these OS's. Lets see how long will it take for them to resolve that infamous defaultuser0
Maybe here? C:\Windows\SystemResources, but idk which file. It is so many of them, I opened *.dll.mun files with ResourceHacker, but there is too many bitmap resources in each file. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
I just took a look they are at: You can find the pictures (without an extension, so you have to append .jpg) in: C:\Users\<Your_Username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets I use a small app to copy to another folder & add the .jpg extension to them.
Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\UserManager\Users\1044477] "UserPicture"="C:\\Users\\<UserName>\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\Windows\\AccountPicture\\UserImage.jpg"
I just said in 1st post, this directory doesn't contain lock screen default profile picture. There are only default profile pictures for apps, start menu, settings app, but not for lock screen default profile picture.
Yes, they have put this and a few other things in new places and I can't identify just now where exactly is the new place.
They have never been stored there. There are only Windows Spotlight images and some app icons (thumbnails actually, not icons). That's all. @n3ro97 Look there, maybe they are in it. NB! This is a hidden folder. C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\S-1-5-21-1237995652-4202878324-3148682802-1001
Nope, AccountPictures folder is empty, besides desktop.ini file with: Code: [.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName=@C:\Windows\System32\Windows.UI.Immersive.dll,-38304
