    Eliminate Folder Contents Previews

    I would like to stop Windows 10 from showing FOLDER content previews in the form of partial thumbnails.

    All of the instructions I have seen for changing this also change the actual FILE view to an icon instead of a thumbnail, which I do not want.

    How do I prevent FOLDER contents previews in Windows 10?

    (I have done this in the past in Windows 8.1, so I assume it's possible in Windows 10).

    Windows 7 wrong thumbnail picture

    Either, what Mussels said, or...
    Looks like you have dis-abled thumbnail previews some how... as, that is the default file folder icon.

    If you are using any system speed up utilities, they may have disabled it.
    Look here and try to turn it back on.

    Preview pane doesn't work in Windows 10

    Hi RuthZekowski,

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    1. Are you facing issue with all your files or any particular files?
    2. Which version of Windows you are using?
    3. Since when are you facing this issue?

    The Preview pane shows the contents of certain files selected in File Explorer. For images, it is a thumbnail preview.

    If you are unable to preview in File explorer, I suggest you to try the below steps.

    1. Open a new File Explorer window and click the View tab from the ribbon toolbar.
    2. Click Options, and then click Change folder and search options to open Folder Options dialog.
    3. Check the Show preview handlers in preview pane box, and click/tap on OK.​





    Please reply for all the required information to help you further.



    Hope it helps.
