Windows 10: Missing Thumbnails for .mp3 files in Windows 10

Missing Thumbnails for .mp3 files in Windows

Was using my laptop yesterday and saw that for some reason my album art wasn't showing on the .mp3 files. I restarted File Explorer via Task Manager but the issue still persisted. I then used Disk Clean-Up to clear any thumbnail cache and tried again, but still no cover art thumbnails!

I'm getting the thumbnails for all other extensions like .jpg, .png, .heic, .mp4, .mkv etc. but for whatever reason .mp3 isn't showing the cover art as the thumbnail despite the files definitely having the cover art embedded. I'm also missing thumbnails for file extensions like .mov & .mb4.

Can someone please help me?

No Cover Art Thumbnails (.mp3)

No Cover Art Thumbnails (.mb4)

No Thumbnail (.mov)

File Explorer > Options > View > Always show icons, never thumbnails (unticked) - Is still set

Edition: Windows 11 Home

Version: 22H2

OS build: 22621.819

Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22636.1000.0

 

No thumbnails and data like 'lenght' for MP3 / MP4 / PDF

ALL IS SOLVED, steps followed:
- Ran the troubleshooter 'Windows Updates' which detected and fixed some issues
- Ran the search for Windows Updates again which now found 2 additional updates and installed them:
* KB4580419 - 2020-11 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 for Windows 10 version 2004 for x64
* KB4586781 - 2020-11 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 version 2004 for x64-based systems
- Rebooted my system and all was fine again (thumbnails of MP3/MP4/... are back, MP3 artists, titles, lengths etc are back)





Thank god for Friday the 13th of the incredible year 2020 *Biggrin

 

Windows 10 Picture Files not updating thumbnails

Hi,

I realize that the picture files are not updating thumbnails. I will try to help you with this issue.

Suggest you to perform “Disk Cleanup”, cleaning up the temporary internet files, thumbnail, cookies and temp files, so as to check the thumbnail view of the photo is updated by cleaning up your temporary data.

Further, if the issue persists then you can also follow these steps:

• 
  Right click in the Folder that contains the images.
  
• 
  Select View.
  
• 
  Note the current icon size, and change it to another size (ie: "Medium-Icons" to "Large-Icons", then back to "Medium-Icons").
  
• 
  This causes the icons to be resized and their cache updated.
  

Keep us informed to help you further.
