Restore File Explorer Default Thumbnail size

Hi Steve,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.

• Which was the update installed prior to this issue?
  

You may change the icons size in the File Explorer to the default view by;

• Open File Explorer and click on
  ‘View’.
  
• Choose the desired icons size (Extra Large Icons/Large Icons/Medium Icons/Small Icons) and set it.
  

You may also run the Automatically diagnose and repair
Windows file and folder problems troubleshooter and check if it works. This will fix the lost or incorrect
View settings or customizations for one or more folders.



Regards,

 

Incorrect folder size in file explorer

I’ve had this problem after October Windows update. Currently, file explorer stopped recognizing folder size. When I open properties, I can see incorrect figures. For instance, I know that my folder weighs 78 Gb but I it shows only 30Gb. The same
problem is in the disk space. I use Microsoft surface book 2., Windows 10 v. 1809.
