Windows 10: How Can I Restore Thumbnails After Changing Photo Viewing Programs?

A friend of mine uses CorelDRAW x7 as his photo viewer, and he downloaded the CorelDRAW 2020 free trial to see if it was worth upgrading. After he removed the 2020 program, Windows still tries to use *it* to generate thumbnails and fails, then just puts the program icon in place. The system setting to show thumbnails is on. The photos still open fine using x7 but he'd like to see thumbnails again.

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?

Hi

File Explorer>Pictures>Open Pictures.

If Your Photos come up as just a List and don't show up as Thumbnails, look at the Two Small Icons at the Bottom Right of the Screen and 'Toggle' between them.

The first one gives you a List View and the other one gives you a Thumbnail View.

Or you could Click: View at the Top of the Screen and then you Can not only see your Photos as Thumbnails but you can also choose the Size.
