Please try the following:
Stop Minecraft
Delete the contents of the skin folder
[.minecraft/assets/skins/|http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/finding-minecraft-data-folder]
Restart Minecraft
Are you using any mods?
So your operating system and other specs are "I tried finding a fix to this so long ago and i sill am but nothing is coming up!

Funniness aside, I see a lot of Alex and Steve skins on a lot of servers I join. Some just don't have skins, and others I know are glitched, because I've seen them with a skin before. I don't know HOW it works, but it hasn't happened so far when I've played 1.8+.
The enviroment is supposed to only contain pc details.

@Dave That's a separate issue with a different cause (unlike this issue, which is a problem on the player's side).
Gotcha Thanks!

It looks like this may also be caused by the "Bullguard" antivirus software (https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-253350?focusedCommentId=1175209&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-1175209)
I'm having the same issue, tried all of the possible solutions here. In the multiplayer server my friends can see my updated skin. But when I look myself its still, and always Zuri. any idea what is causing this?
I checked the list of softwares and I dont have any of those installed
I'm using 1.19.4 version
Windows 11
I'm encountering the same issue on Windows 11/Launcher v3.6.2-2.1.3/Vanilla 1.21.3 & 1.21.4.
Up to this point, no solutions provided from this ticket, the Community Support server or the official support team are working.
