How to change account picture of DIFFERENT user in Windows 10?

favorite
I have created new user and set a password for him.
Can I also set account picture for him?
I searched following places:
New windows style: PC Settings -> Accounts
Medium age windows style: Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Manage another account
Old age Windows NT style: Administrative tools -> Computer management -> Local Users and Groups.
May be I am late and the progress went ahead? May be they already created fourth semi-functional applet for user management?
UPDATE
Note that the question is about how to set picture of a DIFFERENT user. So, the method including logging in as new user can not be regarded as an answer, because once I logged as some user, I am not different of him anymore.
Also normal security setup doesn't allow anyone to log in as any one else, even an administrator.

The "usertile" value which stores the user account picture is stored in the SAM hive. This script does it in earlier versions, but doesn't work in Windows 10 when I tested. But gives you an idea how and where to change the setting. Editing the SAM is risky.

@DavidPostill once I log as different user, I will change "my" icon, not of different user. "Different user" means "different user account than one currently logged in".

The "usertile" value which stores the user account picture is stored in the SAM hive. This script does it in earlier versions, but doesn't work in Windows 10 when I tested. But gives you an idea how and where to change the setting. Editing the SAM is risky.

@DavidPostill once I log as different user, I will change "my" icon, not of different user. "Different user" means "different user account than one currently logged in".
– Dims
Oct 27 at 20:19
@Dims My answer explains how to change the icon of the currently logged in user. If you log in as him you will change his icon not your icon. Which is what the original question asked before you added the log in as someone else restriction.
– DavidPostill♦
Oct 27 at 20:28
@DavidPostill what do you mean by "his" or "my" icon? User accounts are not people and icons belong to user accounts, not for humans. One user can have multiple accounts, or user account may be not intended for logons at all. I am sure you know all this.
