This article assumes that you've uploaded a custom avatar to your Google chrome identity already.

  1. Open the following directory:
    %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
  2. Open the file called Local State and use some regex to add new lines at each { and }
  3. Look for the following JSON segment:
    "profile":{
    ...
    "Default":{
    ...
    is_using_default_avatar":true,  <--- SET TO false   
    ...
    "use_gaia_picture":false,  <--- SET TO true
    ...}
    ,"Profile 1":{
    ...
    is_using_default_avatar":true,  <--- SET TO false   
    ...
    "use_gaia_picture":false,  <--- SET TO true
    ...
    }}
