    Hi, I have tried all of the resolutions I can find within the community pages but still i can only see icons and not thumbnails of my images.


    Here is a link to the community help page I've already tried:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...nail-and/b797b16d-2782-4259-b63c-10cf6b8a3445


    None of these resolutions have worked and have actually made it worse. It was showing some thumbnails and some icons within a folder but now there are only icons. I've checked, double checked and triple checked that 'Always show icons, never thumbnails' is unchecked and have just updated to the newest version as windows 10 and it is still happening. I don't know what else to do.

    Pictures do not display thumbnails but icons

    Hi Laura,

    As per the above added info, I suggest that you follow the steps below and check.

    1. Open the location where you images or saved.

    2. Here click on the View Tab and then on the Option drop down.

    3. Here click on the Change folder and search options.

    4. Here under View tab, check the box Display file icon on thumbnails
    and uncheck Always show icons, not thumbnails.

    5. Click on Apply and OK.

    Hope this helps

    Thumbnails not displaying: Unchecked 'show icons'/checked 'thumbnails'


    Hi,

    I have unchecked the option to 'show icons instead of thumbnails' (view>options>folder options) and I have checked 'show icons' (performance>advanced) but still I get icons instead of thumbnails. I have closed and restarted file explorer multiple times to no change. I have posted the screenshot below to show the current settings. Any help would be appreciated!

    Thank you.
