Windows 10: How is it that 2 pc's now show the same Thumbnail issues? What's the relation?

Is it a coincedence? Now a Dell desktop and an older Toshiba laptop are both having trouble with thumbnails. I bet you I've tried every selection, check mark, registry hack ... everything that is out there by knowledgable agents and I can't get thumbnails to work right. Try me ... I've probably tried is several times. It's frustration as I need to search image files in explorer and icons won't do? Yes, I've checked only show thumbnails. Yes, I've been into Advanced system settings and changed that. smh Thanks for any other suggestions.

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 Ali,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please provide more information to help :

• 
  When you say "the thumbnails are just icons", is that on a local account or the Microsoft account?
  
• 
  Do you have the latest version of ProRes or iTunes installed on the pc?
  

I suggest you to follow the steps below and verify the result.

• 
  Go to file explorer and clock on view.
  
• 
  Select Options and Go to View.
  
• 
  Under Files and folders uncheck the box always show icon, never thumbnails.
  

I also suggest you to install any pending Windows updates on the pc to check if that helps. Updates are additions to software that can help prevent or fix problems, improve how your computer works, or enhance your computing experience.

Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.
