Windows 10: Thumbnails missing, only for jpg files.

That's a bit embarrasing. Most (but not all) of my jpg files (and just jpg files, movies, pdfs, etc, are ok) aren't generating thumbnails for themselves. Problem is it's almost impossible to troubleshoot this as anyone would, 'cause the internet is flooded with the same old stupid "enable thumbs in performance" / "enable thumbs in folder options" solutions. Does anybody had something similar to this?

File Explorer not showing thumbnails

Brink,

Many thanks for you reply. I have done all the steps you suggested, but no change,

When I open a folder containing photos, some open correctly but the vast majority open with thumbnails, but they very quickly get overwritten and you can not longer see the thumbnails.

Are there any more suggestions?

 

Windows 10 Picture Files not updating thumbnails

Hi,

I realize that the picture files are not updating thumbnails. I will try to help you with this issue.

Suggest you to perform “Disk Cleanup”, cleaning up the temporary internet files, thumbnail, cookies and temp files, so as to check the thumbnail view of the photo is updated by cleaning up your temporary data.

Further, if the issue persists then you can also follow these steps:

• 
  Right click in the Folder that contains the images.
  
• 
  Select View.
  
• 
  Note the current icon size, and change it to another size (ie: "Medium-Icons" to "Large-Icons", then back to "Medium-Icons").
  
• 
  This causes the icons to be resized and their cache updated.
  

Keep us informed to help you further.
