Windows explorer: Thumbnails take a long time to generate

Hello everyone.

I recently noticed that it would take Windows a long time to generate the thumbnails in Windows Explorer when there are sub-folders a couple of levels deep. If there are no sub-folders or sub-folders just one level deep, then the thumbnails would instantly load.

I can click on a folder and then wait for the green bar to slowly go across the screen, often time, it would take minutes. All thumbnails would eventually be shown, but that is an awfully long time. If I scroll down, the next set of thumbnails would then take a long time to load. If I scroll back up, it would take a long time to reload those thumbnails again. During the time of the loading, the CPU fan would rev to max and is very loud.

I've combed the web and this forum for answers. I've deleted the thumbnail cache. Another thread said to disable the Windows search service, but I use that a lot to locate files and pictures on my PC.

At first, I thought it was my new SSD failing already, because that usually happens when one of my hard drive fails. I get the same results copying the files and directory structures to a RAM drive. On folders with multiple directories deep, it would take a long time to load the thumbnails there too.

There was an update that requires a reboot two days ago and I believe it is what caused the issue. According to Windows, it is the latest update pending the feature update one.

Windows version 1909
OS Build: 18363.959
CPU: Zeon E3-1505 v5
Ram: 64GB

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I work with images and documents so rely on Windows Explorer. Until now, I did not have this issue.

Thank you.

4k screen, icons and thumbnails appear too separated in file explorer

Items inside folders are shown too separate in my windows 10. It happens with images, other folders, ... all items, when displayed as EXTRA/LARGE/MEDIUM/SMALL ICONS.I was used to view my computer folders as "medium icons" but now it's painful. It's frustrating
because you cannot see many files in the screen at the same time with such big spacing.

I tried to adjust "Window Metrics" in the registry (Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\IconSpacing). Now the Desktop icon separation is fine. Still, inside the folders, icons and thumbnails are not adjusted.

My system settings are:

• Scale and Layout 250% (recommended)
• Display Resolution: 3840x2160 (recommended)
• Windows 10 home 1709

When I set 100% scaling icons and thumbnails appear ok, but then menus and texts are too small. Icons and thumbnails are also fine when I set to lower resolutions, but I want to make use of the 4k screen, so it's not a good solution. So, in my understanding
there could be two possible solutions:

1.Is there a solution for adjusting icon and thumbnail spacing inside folders? Then I can use the "extra large icons" view. Now, they appear too separate to be of any use (see image below).

2. It's possible to scale icons and thumbnails over 100% (255px)? It looks like while the rest of the system settings scale to 250%, icons and thumbnails remain 100%. (see below: large selected blue area that the thumbnail doesn't cover,
when should).

Thanks in advance.
