    Pictures won't show as thumbnails in File Explorer on Windows 10
    Just bought a new HP Win10 laptop and for some reason File Explorer would not show most of my pictures or as thumbnails. But with hundreds of files in a dozen folders trying to upload a picture to Facebook or a email was making me crazs. Double clicking each and everyone just to see what it is, is turning out to be very annoying. Why won't File Explorer display my photos. JPeg or otherwise. I FOUND it WASN'T a " Always show icons never thumbnails" option in File and folder options but it was a One Drive settings problem. There is a option Files on Demand. Automatically save space and download files on demand. Uncheck it and if you want to save loading space compress the folder.

    :)

  3. Photo thumbnail picture


    Hi

    File Explorer>Pictures>Open Pictures.

    If Your Photos come up as just a List and don't show up as Thumbnails, look at the Two Small Icons at the Bottom Right of the Screen and 'Toggle' between them.

    The first one gives you a List View and the other one gives you a Thumbnail View.

    Or you could Click: View at the Top of the Screen and then you Can not only see your Photos as Thumbnails but you can also choose the Size.

    Pictures won't show as thumbnails in File Explorer on Windows 10

    Just upgraded to Win10 and for some reason File Explorer will not show my pictures or files as thumbnails. My folders I have for all of my photos; when opened only show a bunch of icons and not the pictures themselves i.e. thumbnails Not even in the
    preview window. I can double click on them and the picture pops up fine. But with 738 pictures in several folders. Double clicking each and everyone just to see what it is, is turning out to be very annoying. Why won't File Explorer display my photos.
    JPeg or otherwise.
