Trouble with user icon

Hi everybody,

I am running Catalina but the problem I am going to describe to you emerged with the previous MacOs version, when moving data to a new MacBook.

I don't know why but my user icon is still a pre-set one (a flower) not my own. I connected my user to my iCloud account, my Apple ID, my contact card. All of those have my own profile icon, which doesn't migrate to my user.

If I try to put it in a costume way (Settings/Users and then "edit" which appears on the picture) I can't make it.

I know it is nothing big but it so annoying to lose vs a computer :-)

Thanks in advance for your help

Nico

See if there is any added extra info here— Change a user's picture on Mac - Apple Support

If you are still baffled try a SafeBoot to clear system cache files—

Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. You can login or simple reboot to get back to normal login.
