    Preview image is more helpful in identifying the folders than title text for me, why did devs remove this feature and make the folder icon just dull yellow chunk?

    Please someone tell the devs to make folder's preview image back!

    Viewing picture files in folders does not display image or preview

    Hello Joseph,

    To better assist you with your concern, I'd like to know the following:

    • Confirm which build is currently installed on your device. To check, follow the steps below:
    1. Press Windows key + R, then type in winver.
    2. Click OK.
    • What is the make and model of your device?
    • Please idenfify the troubleshooting steps that you've taken so far.

    Meanwhile, I'd recommend performing the steps below to troubleshoot the said issue:

    1. Press Windows key + E to open File Explorer, then click on
    View tab.

    2. Click on Options, then select Change folder and search options.

    3. Click on View tab. UnderFiles and Folders, make sure to uncheck the box for
    Always show icons, never thumbnails.

    If the issue still occurs, try to copy the images without preview/thumbnail and paste them back in the same folder. You should be able to get the preview and just need to delete the original files.

    In addition, if you're using OneDrive in your computer, users had suggested that unchecking the "Save space and download files as I need them" resolve the issue for them.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Regards.

    Preview pane and Image Icons

    Why have most (90% in some folders) of my images stopped displaying either as Large Icons or in Preview?

    Is there any way to display a preview image on the new folder icon?

    Cygnus Systems Sues Google, Microsoft and Apple Over Preview Icons

    From reading it, it almost sounds like it's just the Folder Preview stuff. Like seeing multiple images on the icon for a folder. Stupid enough though.
