Windows 10: Random things changed files for pictures and videos don't show image preview, etc

For some reason, I have recently gotten changes. These include files with no image preview, the font in every application degraded to become more pixel-like, and while holding left click to move a tab a black outline is created with a see clear inside so I can't see my tab until I've fully moved it.


I also get javascript errors, and I get an error message whenever I try to update my windows settings. And I can't seem to give my account administrative permissions.


I recently downloaded processor lasso to try to increase my frames in games, and I deleted this to try to fix the problem. I also updated Windows 10 and javascript but I still see these weird changes.


Sincerely,

Jacob Helsel

Video in the preview pane

Aileen,

Thank you so much for your reply.

What I really need to know is how get the video to play in the preview pane. Prior to Windows 10, this worked wonderfully and was an asset. Now, it requires making changes to the Windows registry - not recommended due to the enormous amount of issues with
Windows 10.

Any other suggestions?

 

Viewing picture files in folders does not display image or preview

Hello Joseph,

To better assist you with your concern, I'd like to know the following:

• Confirm which build is currently installed on your device. To check, follow the steps below:

1. Press Windows key + R, then type in winver.
2. Click OK.

• What is the make and model of your device?
• Please idenfify the troubleshooting steps that you've taken so far.

Meanwhile, I'd recommend performing the steps below to troubleshoot the said issue:

1. Press Windows key + E to open File Explorer, then click on
View tab.

2. Click on Options, then select Change folder and search options.

3. Click on View tab. UnderFiles and Folders, make sure to uncheck the box for
Always show icons, never thumbnails.

If the issue still occurs, try to copy the images without preview/thumbnail and paste them back in the same folder. You should be able to get the preview and just need to delete the original files.

In addition, if you're using OneDrive in your computer, users had suggested that unchecking the "Save space and download files as I need them" resolve the issue for them.

Looking forward to your response.

Regards.

  In the File Explorer window, click the View
  tab.

  In the Panes section, click the Preview Pane button. The Preview pane is added to the right side of the File Explorer window.

  Select several files one by one to preview their contents. You can preview their contents if they are text, images, or videos.
