Windows 10: HEIC thumbnails and W10 - is there a better way?

As I type I'm looking at my Onedrive Camera Roll folder, a sea of ungenerated thumbnails for HEICs - but not all of them. Among the 3000 or so items in the folder, there's only perhaps a couple of hundred that I can see thumbnails for. I have the Microsoft Store plugins for the codec (I'm not sure why I had to buy them, but whatever, it's Microsoft) and I can open every HEIC.

This doesn't happen all the time, but when it does it's obviously frustrating - and is not cured by opening another window, etc.

File Explorer not showing thumbnails

Brink,

Many thanks for you reply. I have done all the steps you suggested, but no change,

When I open a folder containing photos, some open correctly but the vast majority open with thumbnails, but they very quickly get overwritten and you can not longer see the thumbnails.

Are there any more suggestions?

 

HEIC

Hi Edward,

We need more information about your concern. Are you trying to convert and open other image format to HEIC? If yes, a certain program will be needed to open that kind of file, we suggest checking the Windows Store for programs that can convert other image
format to HEIC. Make sure to download the program with the highest rating and good reviews.

Regards.

 

HEIC file viewing

I have the HEIC Image extensions and the HEVC video extensions on my Windows 10 PC but the TWINUI application will still not open the HEIC file. Any suggestions?

I have tried converting it to JPG using the APowersoft application but it downloads the file to a location that does not seem to exist on my PC - "...Users/[user name]\AppData\temp...

Thanks.
