  3. Thumbnails and task bar icons not displaying

    Since the last Windows 10 update my thumbnails do not display. Some flash on when a folder is opened but then revert to an icon. I've already tried clearing cache and trying different programs to open the files. Also the folders containing thumbnails are
    now slow to open.

    Some icons on the task bar are not displaying, for example Edge. Its there but no icon. Removing it and then reinstating to the task bar has the same effect.

  4. No Thumbnails on Task Bar

    Task view thumbnails

    At least we got a progress after performing a clean boot. Now, since there are instances that the thumbnails are still disappearing, then this may have something to do with the thumbnail cache. So, here's what to do next.

    Follow the steps below to recreate the thumbnail cache using Disk Cleanup:

    • Open File Explorer.
    • Click This PC on the left pane.
    • Right-click the C: driver where Windows 10 is installed and select Properties.
    • Next, click Disk Cleanup.
    • Uncheck all the boxes, then check the Thumbnail box only.
    • Click OK, then click Delete Files to confirm and to complete the task.

    After that, you should be able to browse files and folders on your computer with thumbnail previews showing up correctly.

    Let us know if this goes well for you.
