    File Explorer - Some PDF's show thumbnail image, some don’t

    In Windows 10 File Explorer, I see thumbnails for a few of my pdf files but still see the generic Adobe pdf icon for most of them.

    • In Windows 10 folder options, the checkbox for “Always show icons, never thumbnails” is unchecked.
    • On the Adobe Reader preferences general tab, “Enable PDF thumbnails previews in Windows Explorer” is checked.
    • Adobe Acrobat is set as my default PDF viewer.
    • I have used Disk Cleanup to delete all my thumbnails to clear and rebuild the cache, yet the problem persists.
    Any suggestions on how I can see all the pdf icons as thumbnails?
    Windows 10 Pro, Version 1903, Build 18362.657
    Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (20.006.20034)

    I asked over in the Adobe Acrobat Reader forum a few days ago but have received no replies.

  3. Best free PDF software?

    I use:
    • UnityPDF to merge/split PDFs and to insert/extract pages
    • doPDF to create PDFs from any program that is capable of printing
    • Foxit Reader to view PDFs and to type in them

    Hi,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    I will definitely assist you.

    Let’s try simple steps and check if this helps in resolving the issue.

    Step 1.

    I would suggest you to update the Display driver from Device Manager manually and check if this helps.


    • Press (Windows key + X) and click on “Device Manager”.

    • Expand “Display Adaptor”.

    • Right click on the driver device and select
      update.

    • Once update is done, restart the computer.
    If the issue still persist, try the below step.

    Step 2.

    I recommend you to un-install and reinstall the latest adobe reader version. You can download it form the below link;
