    Windows 10 showing device icons instead of thumbnails in folders

    Hi me15prg9926,

    There's a possibility that some folder settings may have changed. It could be set to show icons and not thumbnails. To verify that, please follow the steps below:

    • Open the File Explorer.
    • Click the View tab.
    • On the upper-right corner, click Options.
    • On the Folder Options, click the View tab.
    • Under Files and Folders, uncheck Always show icons, never thumbnails.
    • Click Apply, then OK.

    Once done, try checking if the folder icons are already showing thumbnails.

    Update us with the result.

    Regards.
