Windows 10: Thumbnails not loading properly

Hello! I'm facing this issue:1. Explorer.EXE not working properly and thumbnails won't load.Before facing this issue, I didn't made any changes to the system.At this moment, I saw that some files have a blank page icon and some folders, without its contents.And some icons from Taskbar can't be shownI tried some things, but they didn't work.What solution can I use without a clean boot?

Windows 10: JPEG and PFG Thumbnails not working, not loading properly.

I was trying to finish renaming a lot of my photos. But the thumbnails stopped working all of a sudden. I have tried several recommended options which were listed here 4 Methods to Fix Picture Thumbnails Not Showing on Windows 10 and none have worked.

The most important one issue i have noticed is the the command for going into view mode and folder options tab is greyed out. It only opens by manually searching in search bar. And the unchecking the "Always Show Icons, Never Thumbnails." did not work.

The only program where i am currently to view my thumbnails is by opening it a opening menu through photoshop.




Most importantly i don't have any restore points to test it and i don't have any warranty or time and resources for a re-install.

Also got this error all of a sudden for the folder options all of a sudden locked out from searching for it with search menu

EDIT
It's mostly affecting my pictures in a subfolder where my adult pictures folders are. Thing is the thumbnails only failed because i was sorting them. I have backups of them but how do i restore folder access and completely repair the thumbnails.
Also using a command to opening pictures in photo or or a web-browser which usually never happens. Even right click to make new folder is causing freezing.

 

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?

 

Thumbnails load slowly in Explorer

Hi, have you done any research on this? A general search for
thumbnails load slowly
suggests e.g.
How to Speed Up a Windows Folder that Loads Very Slowly

But there are so many factors: how large a file is each image: where are the files located: what is the speed of access to that location: what else is the PC doing at the same time..... (check your task manager).

Another angle:
