    I frequently draw in Windows 11 Paint. I zoom in to draw, using the thumbnail to see how it'll look when it's zoomed out. Before Paint's latest update, the preview window would show the section of the drawing I was zoomed in on at 100%. Here is one of my drawings zoomed in.This is approximately what would normally show up in the preview window.And here is how the preview window looks now. The larger the canvas, the tinier the preview window, as seen here. I have attempted to change the size of the preview window, but it still just shows the entire image, rather than the part of the drawing I a

    Windows Explorer crashes and thumbnails problem

    Hi, I hope you can help me.
    Windows Explorer is no longer showing thumbnails on files played by Windows Media Player. I've run cmd and regsvr32 shmedia.dll and regsvr32 shimgvw.dll. That seemed to solve the problem...but it created a different one. Now when I try to open a folder on an external hard drive it crashes. I read in an old 2008 post it was an avi file causing the problem and suggested the run cmd regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll. That solved the opening problem but recreated the thumbnail problem. Any help to achieve both functions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  3. Windows 10 quicktime thumbnails

    Hi Ali,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Please provide more information to help :


    • When you say "the thumbnails are just icons", is that on a local account or the Microsoft account?

    • Do you have the latest version of ProRes or iTunes installed on the pc?


    I suggest you to follow the steps below and verify the result.


    • Go to file explorer and clock on view.

    • Select Options and Go to View.

    • Under Files and folders uncheck the box always show icon, never thumbnails.

    I also suggest you to install any pending Windows updates on the pc to check if that helps. Updates are additions to software that can help prevent or fix problems, improve how your computer works, or enhance your computing experience.

    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.
