Windows 10: Is there a tool that I can run to ensure all of my excel files will show as a thumbnail?

why do some excel files not show a thumbnail ?

Excel & Powerpoint thumbnails not showing in windows 10 file explorer after updating to office 365

Hi Gayle,

When you save an Excel or PowerPoint in File Explorer it automatically saves two copies a preview copy and a thumbnail preview. Here are the steps on how you can see your files in thumbnail preview.

• Open an Excel file or PowerPoint document.
• Click File on the upper left side.
• Select Info.
• Look for Properties and click Advanced Properties.
  
• Tick the box that says Save thumbnails for All Excel/PowerPoint Documents.
• Check the folders where you saved the file it should be in thumbnails already.
  

Feel free to contact us if you have further inquiries.

 

Excel & Powerpoint thumbnails not showing in windows 10 file explorer after updating to office 365

Thank you but this did not work. The boxes are already ticked for both excel and powerpoint. I also cannot open pptx documents from file explorer. I need to open from Powerpoint 2016. See error below.

"this action is only valid for products that are currently installed'.

Do you have another solution?

 

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?
