    Recently, for no known reason, the pictures in my folders changed into blue icons.How do I change them back to pictures, please. The blue icons are very inconvenient. I have searched through all of the settings and can not find anything that helps.

    Photo Icons in the Picture Folders

    Hi,

    Misconfigured view settings is on of the usual reasons why it is not displaying the actual photo. We suggest checking the settings of your folder to make sure it show the icons, instead of the thumbnail. Kindly follow the steps below to check it:

    • Open Picture folder.
    • Choose View tab at the top, then click the (Square icon) Options as shown on the picture below:

      Always show icons, never thumbnails. See picture below:
