    Icon/thumbnail views


    I have many folders that are Adobe Ill, Adobe Photoshop and Flexi with big files. I want to change the default view for my pictures folder including its sub folders, but not every folder because it slows it way down trying to come up with a icon for these big files. Not sure if that makes sense.*Confused Any suggestions? Thank you, Holly

    :)

    Windows 10 photos App does not show thumbnails when you view your collection

    ok.. update on my post...

    upon reviewing my folder settings I saw that my view settings were wrong to be able to view thumbnails in file explorer.. I unticked always show icons, never thumbnails and as good measure I also unticked display file icon on thumbnails.. and it worked..
    pretty much all my apps and programs (photo viewing and editors) will show thumbnails now.. the app that I am using currently is the photos app.. thumbnails for movies is also shown as well..

    Picture preview at Windows 10

    Hi Chan,

    If File Explorer is not showing thumbnail previews for photos in Windows 10, You may try out the following solutions:

    Check if thumbnail preview supported view is turned on

    Make sure that you have turned on the thumbnail preview supported view for the folder where you have your photos. Note that every folder can have its own view setting, and when you change the view, it won’t be applied to all
    the folders on your PC.

    To turn on thumbnail preview supported view, click on the View tab, and then click on one of the following views: Extra-large icons, Large icons, Medium icons, Tiles, Content.

    Check if thumbnails are disabled

    When thumbnails are turned off, the File Explorer displays icons of the default program for the file type instead of the thumbnail preview. You may try these steps:

    • Open up File Explorer. Click the File menu and then click Change folder and search options to open Folder Options. If a file is selected in the particular folder, you might see just Options instead of Change folder and search options. Clicking Options
      will also open Folder Options.
    • Switch to the View tab. Under Advanced settings section, uncheck the option labeled Always show icons, never thumbnails, and then click Apply button
      to enable thumbnails in Windows Explorer.

    Feel free to contact us if you have further inquiries.
