A Cloudeight Tutorial:  How to Add a Picture to Your Windows 10 or Windows 11 User Account 

It’s easy to add a picture to your Windows 10 or Windows 11 user account. You can use your smiling face for your account picture, your grandkids, your spouse, your girlfriend, boyfriend, significant other, dog, cat, pet pig, parrot, hamster, record-breaking pumpkin, tulips, or whatever tickles your fancy. I am sorry for all the geek-speak…

Let’s do it, shall we?

Windows 10

Type YOUR INFO in the taskbar search and press Enter or click it when it appears in the search results.

On the page that opens, look for “Create your picture”. Beneath it, you’ll notice you have two options. You can snap a photo of your beautiful face (or whatever) using your computer’s Webcam, or you can choose a photo already on your computer.

As you can see,  for my account picture, I chose a picture of myself when I was thin, young, handsome, and wild. Ah, but sadly, those days are long since passed. Sorry ladies… I’ll never be that wild and handsome again!

      Do you think that I would have won had I used that dashing picture of me during my campaign all those years ago? Wow! I really blew it. I could have had secret service protection from EB! I need it…

      Without watching you I have no idea what you did wrong. You should start your request with “Create” for instance “Create a cartoonish brontosaurus emerging from a colorful tropical forest on a hot, sunny, tropical day.” I typed that into http://www.bing.com/chat and got 4 small images to choose from. This is the one I picked.

    I don’t think I am receiving your daily emails as I usually do. This is the title of the last one I received and there are none in my spam /junk folder:

      Hi Steve,

      Comcast is blocking our daily email. You need to contact them as they’re blocking our newsletter for content

      There is nothing we can do on our end. If you can’t get any satisfaction from Comcast (and it’s likely you won’t), we recommend you get a free Gmail account and subscribe with that. Google (unlike Comcast) does not censor email They may put a newsletter in the spam folder but you control your mail so all you have to do is right-click the mail and click “Not spam” and that’s it. The newsletter will never go into the spam folder again.

      It’s a good idea not to have just one email address these days anyway. If you were to change ISPs you would not have any way to get your email.

      We are sorry that we cannot be of more help. All we can do is write good info and send it out every night. If Comcast thinks our emails are dangerous, malicious or just plain spam, there is nothing on this Earth we can do to change it. At least you’re a customer of theirs and they may listen to you -although I doubt it.

      And whether or not you want to subscribe with a Gmail (or Hotmail or Outlook.com)address, it is still a wise choice to get a second email account that is independent of your ISP.

      Thanks for subscribing and for your support, Steve.
