    Pictures wont show previews


    If anyone else has that problem and has tried fixing it by deleting the cashe of thumbnails and by unchecking the "never show thumbnails, only icons" box. Maybe you could try selecting all the pics that dont show the preview, rotate all of them to the left, this made mine show since its basically editing the picture. Just rotate in the other direction again and you should see the previews of your photos again.

    :)

    Pictures wont show previews

    Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

    Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

    • I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.


    • Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.
    That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

    Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.
