Every day I turn on my computer (Windows 11), I see my own face in a small picture over the password field. I remember taking the photo while configuring it for the first time after receiving the computer.
My question is: Where is that photo stored on my computer? I know how to change the photo in the configurations, but I’m googling around with no clues about where it is stored.
The company manages the computer. I even thought the photo could be stored directly on the Active Directory server, but my initial searches in this direction were unsuccessful as well. Even though, I guess it should also have a local copy, right?
Some links on the web (as this one suggested in the comments) show possible locations for this photo, but that may not be a general rule, or I am facing a particularly specific situation.
The link above has some answers with 3 possible paths:
-
C:UsersPublicAccountPictures<SID of user>
-
C:Users<User name>AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsAccountPictures
-
C:ProgramDataMicrosoftUser Account Pictures
The first two are empty folders (including hidden files), and the third one has only the generic user icon and a .dat file with my username.
Any tips on where I should search for it?
