Windows 10: Thumbnails, icons and spacing.

I am not sure what Microsoft has done in a recent update or if I have done something. But these issues all happened at the same time. 1. Image thumbnail icons no longer auto display. If I refresh the folder, still no. If I open the image, then refresh the folder, they show IF I am in the screenshots folder. If I am in my D drive, this does not work. None of my images have thumbs anymore. Two days ago, some of them did. Now none.2. The spacing is large enough to put rows and columns of icons/thumbnails in the gaps.3. The Microsoft Store icon will not show on the taskbar. It is now a blank space

Windows 10 Picture Files not updating thumbnails

Hi,

I realize that the picture files are not updating thumbnails. I will try to help you with this issue.

Suggest you to perform “Disk Cleanup”, cleaning up the temporary internet files, thumbnail, cookies and temp files, so as to check the thumbnail view of the photo is updated by cleaning up your temporary data.

Further, if the issue persists then you can also follow these steps:

• 
  Right click in the Folder that contains the images.
  
• 
  Select View.
  
• 
  Note the current icon size, and change it to another size (ie: "Medium-Icons" to "Large-Icons", then back to "Medium-Icons").
  
• 
  This causes the icons to be resized and their cache updated.
  

Keep us informed to help you further.

 

File Explorer Thumbnail Preview Spacing

@Steve c Hi, I looked at that, but it doesn't seem to be for file explorer... could you post a screenshot of what you're suggesting please? Perhaps you have a later version..

It does actually change the spacing between icons for both the desktop and thumbnail views of a folder.

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.
