  1. Why are some .MOV files showing thumbnails in WIN11 File Explorer while others are not?


    I imported pictures and videos from my iphone to WIN11. In File Explorer, one of the .MOV files shows a thumbnail previews, while the rest do not. Other file types like HEIC are showing thumbnails as well. I took a snapshot to show as an example.How do I fix this so that all .MOV files show thumbnails?

    :)

  3. MOV Thumbnails don't show

    I can\t see any thumbnails for MOV files on my computer, I have Quicktime player installed and I have followed the below instructions posted by a mod in an earlier version of this question from another user. Neither of these things helped. Is there any other
    advice on how to make Windows 10 show a thumbnail of these files?

    Quote from "Ferdz Amp":

    "You can recreate thumbnail cache by using Command prompt. Kindly follow these steps to do so:

    1. Press the Windows key to launch the Start menu.
    2. Search for Command Prompt.
    3. Right-click the result and select Run as administrator.
    4. Type the following command to stop File Explorer and press Enter:

      taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
    5. Type the following command to delete all the thumbnail database files without asking for confirmation and press Enter:

      del /f /s /q /a %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\thumbcache_*.db
    6. Type the following command to start File Explorer and press Enter:

      start explorer.exe
    7. Close Command Prompt to complete the task.

    If the issue still persists, I recommend that you create a new user with administrator privileges and check if the issue is resolved. Refer to this support article for the steps on how to: Set
    up accounts
    .

    The corrupted user profile does not function normally such as not launching Start menu, Cortana, Search bar, Store and other Windows applications. In such cases creating a new profile and checking for the same will help in identifying if the issue is
    specific to a corrupted user profile.

    Let us know how it goes."
