The new Microsoft Edge won't update my profile picture; it is still using an old one.
Steps that I have taken:
1. I have updated the picture twice online in my Microsoft account.
2. I have deleted the old picture from both of my Windows 10 systems.
3. I have deleted my Edge profile several times.
4. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Edge.
Nothing that I have done seems to help. Would like to know if this is a bug or something else is going on.

2020-04-29T02:13:33+00:00 The followings work for me:
- Go to C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default
- Create a image file with your profile picture, name it as "Edge Profile Picture.png" if it doesn't exist.

2020-03-01T01:50:47+00:00 Microsoft Edge does not update any pictures. I updated images going into my web sites and noticed that there is a time lag of several hours during which photos uploaded using Filezilla are not updated. I switched to Google Chrome and found that my photos are updated almost immediately once uploaded.
This morning, I took the Edge icon off my taskbar and switched to Chrome. No problems after that.
It is possible that Microsoft pushed this one out the door without beta testing. I would uninstall it and then reinstall it later, when they have made sure that all the bugs were ironed out.
