Actually this login screen has been created in 2 versions:

Files Changeable: In which the user picture will be changed automatically on login screen based on the current user picture. So you can change user picture on login screen by changing your user account picture in Control Panel. But it may cause loss of quality in user picture as it’ll be zoomed to fit he user picture area of login screen.

Files Default: In this login screen, the user picture will never change. It’ll always remain same irrespective of what user account picture do you select. It has been created to mimic Windows 10 login screen perfectly.

So you can decide which version of login screen do you want to use and then open that folder.
