AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around locating the profile image set for a local account in Windows 11. Users are unable to definitively identify the storage location of this image. Suggestions include using the "Accounts -> Your Info -> Take a photo" feature to set an account image, but this does not clarify where the image is stored. A search query for the image's location yields no clear answers. One user reports that their image appears to be stored in the Microsoft cloud rather than locally. A method mentioned involves right-clicking the image in account information to "Copy image link," which can reveal the storage path.

TL;DR Summary
Where is my user account picture stored in windows 11? The one I took with my built-in camera when I set up my *local* user account information in Settings.
I'd like to get the location of this image in my system

I am not at my computer, but I think its under Accounts ( on left side)
 
Try this:

No, that can't get what I want to.
Try this in your "Accounts-> Your Info->Take a photo", which opens your laptop's built-in camera, take one picture of you, then set it as your Account image. I want to know where that image is stored.

No one can actually tell exactly where the image set for their local account is located. At least in this forum.
When you see your picture in your Account information like in post #3, right-click and "Copy image link". Then paste that info into a text file to see where it points. Worked for me. (mine appears to be in the Microsoft cloud and not kept locally)
