A user account picture in Windows 11 is a small image that is associated with a user account on a computer. This picture is used to identify the user and is displayed on the login screen, start menu, and other areas of the operating system.
To change your user account picture in Windows 11, go to the Settings app and click on "Accounts". Then, select "Your info" from the left menu and click on the "Browse" button under "Create your picture". Choose an image from your computer or take a new picture with your webcam, and click "Save".
