My macOS profile avatar reverts back every time I change it

I can't change my macOS profile avatar because, when I do, it reverts back to the old one as soon as I re-open system preferences or lock my machine (anytime I view the avatar again). Here is a video capturing the problem.

One other place you can try, System Preferences > Users & Groups then your admin account. You'll have to unlock the lock of course.


Something else you can try. Boot into Safe Mode then restart normally.
