Masterchiefxx17 what do you mean by linked ? my set up is local on top and hotmail at the bottom on user account get back to me please
Yes,Login to your Windows 10 user profile. Go to Control Panel/User Accounts you will see your picture. Now login to Outlook.com, with the same Hotmail Email address account, and under your Account Settings in the Upper Left hand corner, you will see the same picture. If you change your picture on one, it should change on the other once you log out and log back in again on both.

You do not have to keep typing "Get Back to me please" every time. We will always answer you when we have time, as we are just volunteers here doing this on our spare time.
You don't tell us what you have tried, and you don't tell us if you have followed our suggestions and if it has any effect?
So it is difficult to troubleshoot your problem.
After you change your picture, you must log out of all MS accounts that use this Hotmail Email account, (eg) MSN, Outlook.com, Windows 10, Live Mail, etc, etc. then log back in for the change to take place. It may take up to 24 hours before the change will register. If you are logging in as a different user every time then your picture will not update. If you login with your Hotmail account on all MS sites and Windows 10 and your picture has not been updated after a few days, contact Microsoft Support. Outlook.com - Windows Help

No we do not need to know your setup for this. But we do need to know if you have followed the instructions in post #4 #6 and #10 and what the outcome was and what other things you have tried.

The screenshot shows you are not logged in with a Microsoft account, the link you provided does not work.

Spunk. Funk I have mine set to local account what is local account Administrator as seen in my screenshot
We cannot help you if you don't answer our questions and tell us if you have tried our suggestions and what the outcome is.
A local account Administrator, is a local account that you created with Administrator privileges. A Local Account with nothing after it is a Standard account. If you are logged in as a Standard user, you cannot make changes to the computer, other then to your own account. It will not affect the other users, or your Microsoft User account: Differences among Standard, Administrator and Guest Users | Anvisoft KnowledgeBase
To make changes to your Microsoft User account, you have to be logged in with your Hotmail account. After you make changes, you must log out of all MS accounts that you are logged in with your Hotmail Email address. Restart the computer and log back into each.

Spunk Funk I am trying to see the issuse to tell my tech I think it should be in local account Administrator,created with Administrator privileges he put it in standard cause I also can not run in Administrator at all would it be true to ?
If you know the Administrator user password, or your Microsoft Hotmail user account password used to install Windows, you can log out of Standard User and login as either user. Again, you can't make changes to the Hotmail account if you are not logged into that account.
