    Thumbnails no longer generating for .mp4 files

    I recently installed and uninstalled a bunch of programs (which I believe caused the issue).

    Afterwards, for some reason, only .mp4 files will no longer generate thumbnails in the explorer. Any new .mp4 file I create now shows up as a default blank thumbnail. Existing .mp4 files (before the issue came up) still retained their thumbnails. All other
    types of files are showing up fine.

    I deleted the thumbnail cache, and all thumbnails regenerated except .mp4 files.

    Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thank you.

    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?

    Video Files Not Showing Thumbnails in File Explorer


    I don't know why I had thumbnails for .mp4 files prior to the last Windows update since searching for a fix pretty much agrees with Berton's comment that Win10 doesn't really come with much support for it.

    After trying a bunch of tips, I decided to install a program called Icaros.

    That allowed me to add .mp4 to the list of filetypes and activate thumbnails for it.

    Works. All is good now.
