  1. windows 10 (2004 update) doesn't show thumbnails


    My Windows 10 has stopped showing thumbnails, and I can't figure out why. I have tried:


    • Turning on 'Show icons, never thumbnails', THEN rebooting, and THEN unticking the same, and THEN rebooting. This made no difference.


    • Using the Disk Cleanup tool to 'clean thumbnails' and THEN rebooting. This made no difference. Also tried this in safe mode.


    • Using an elevated command prompt to navigate to the icon cache folder (inside appdata/local/microsoft/windows/explorer I think it was) and delete all the icon and thumbnail databases, THEN reboot. This made no difference.


    • I ran SFC / scannow at an elevated command prompt, rebooted afterwards. This took ages, but made no difference.


    • Tried making another local user profile and logged into it. Opened a folder with pictures in it. No thumbnails would generate.

    Thumbnails do not appear if I enable the preview window in explorer. I get a white box with no content for many file types. A word document takes a minute to show up. A zip file says 'no preview available'. A picture file just stays white forever.

    Thumbnails do not appear if I enable the Details pane. I can see image information such as its size and exif data. But the preview is just the file icon.

    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 quicktime thumbnails

    Hi Ali,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Please provide more information to help :


    • When you say "the thumbnails are just icons", is that on a local account or the Microsoft account?

    • Do you have the latest version of ProRes or iTunes installed on the pc?


    I suggest you to follow the steps below and verify the result.


    • Go to file explorer and clock on view.

    • Select Options and Go to View.

    • Under Files and folders uncheck the box always show icon, never thumbnails.

    I also suggest you to install any pending Windows updates on the pc to check if that helps. Updates are additions to software that can help prevent or fix problems, improve how your computer works, or enhance your computing experience.

    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.
