[quote who="mikemintonsy" reply="12" id="3957762"] My profile pic does show in other apps that use it, and on the default start menu - which is what is throwing me - what group policies do you think may be the root cause? Does anyone have any experience as this could be a minfield? [/quote] If your picture is showing in the Default Windows start menu, it's probably not related to a Group policy setting. I would suggest that you follow Basj's instructions in Reply #13.

Your IT department may have a Group policy preventing this. Does it show in the Windows 11 default start menu, or other apps that use the Microsoft avatar?

That’s the avatar that should show in the start menu. How about if you try some of the other menu styles, do you see it then?

Try restarting Explorer and see if it changes. I have found it's best to change the folder icon before pinning it to the taskbar.

The custom start button flicker has been resolved, but if you don't have an app open or pinned to the taskbar, the default Windows 11 start button is used.
