FULL STORY
======================================================================

If youve been keeping up with Windows 11 news youll know that theres been a 
lot of turbulence with the latest optional update - Windows 11 version 
KB5036980 - and the introduction of ads into the start menu. Happily, 
Microsoft is finally doing something about it - but it might be too little, 
too late for some users. 

The update is currently available for users running Windows 11 version 23H2 
and 22H2 and can be installed manually from the Update Catalog. Besides the 
annoying pop-ups of ads in your start menu, it seems that users are also 
getting error messages when trying to change their profile photo. 

Spotted by Windows Latest , some users who installed the update are getting 
an error message when they try to change their account photo. This seems to 
only be happening on peoples local system accounts and not their actual 
Microsoft accounts, meaning that its definitely a Windows issue rather than 
something to do with Microsofts online account systems. Playing the waiting 
game 

Microsoft has updated its Feedback Hub to say that its aware of the reports 
and has already started to make changes in the internal builds. So, the May 
2024 optional update is expected to fix the current issues. 

Windows Latest received comments from Microsoft support staff that it is 
investigating the error and confirmed that the issue affects the mandatory 
KB5036893 update and the optional KB5036980 update that put ads in the Start 
menu. The profile pic bug is expected to be fixed soon, along with some other 
bugs that have been plaguing Windows 11 as of late. 

So if you are currently experiencing this issue, youll likely just have to 
wait for the May patch for Microsoft to issue a fix. Until then, you may be 
stuck with your profile picture for a while - I hope it's cute!
