Windows 10: What is automatically creating *_icon.png files?

Hoping I can get some help here since google is giving me nada.


For whatever reason, some sort of thumbnail basically a small image and duplicating every image file in my iCloud photos. That seems to be the only place it's happening. Each of them are named *_icon.png Where * is the original filename. It's frustrating, and annoying, since then they all sync to my phone and I'm stuck scrolling through literally several thousand poor quality images by hand in order to find my real images I want to look at. Is there a way to turn off this behavior? No matter how many times I delete them they are all regenerated, and the deletions aren't synced with my phone so I have to delete them all there too. What's doing this and how do I stop it from happening - preferably system wide? It's driving me nuts. Not as nuts as having to reinstall my entire system because the updater thinks I can't run windows 10, even though I'm running it now just fine ... but that's a topic for another day.


Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Resolution Suggestion:

# To resolve this problem, make sure that BITS and the Automatic Updates service are started..

A simple solution but one that works in most circumstances!

1. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then click OK.

2. In the list of services, right-click Automatic Updates, and then click Properties.

3. In the Startup type list, click Automatic, and then click Apply.

4. If Service status is set to Stopped, click Start, and then click OK.

5. Right-click Background Intelligent Transfer Service, and then click Properties.

6. In the Startup type list, click Manual, and then click Apply.

7. If Service status is set to Stopped, click Start, and then click OK.

laptop doesnt boot automatically

This is what happened.

1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.
