    Video preview in Windows Explorer

    In windows Explorer preview pane a thumbnail of the video stored on the pc is displayed.

    If it is reviewed in the preview pane the thumbnail only displays that preview.

    If other video files are selected it still displays the thumbnail of the first file previewed.

    This means you have to open in a player to preview contents.

    It is happening on a new laptop in Windows 10 and happened on a previous laptop in
    8.1

  3. Windows 10 File Explorer Preview Thumnails

    Windows 10 has changed the way the thumbnail previews in file folders look when the thumbnail previews option is enabled. In this version of Windows, the thumbnail images have been magnified compared to how they were in previous versions. So, the hundreds
    of images that I set up to display as a thumbnail in a folder are now cropped on all sides. I spent hundreds of hours adding various small icons to the edges of the images that I set up to use as folder previews, and now those icons are not visible in the
    thumbnails.

    So here's my question: Is there a way that I can change the way Windows 10 displays the preview thumbnails back to the way it has been for at least the last 3 versions of windows?

    I've tried Classic Shell, but that does not change the format. I've also tried several aftermarket file explorer type programs, and apps, but they just default to the same new "zoomed in" format. I tried making the images smaller, but no matter how small
    I make them, file explorer still zooms in and crops off the edges of the image when displaying them in the folder icon.
