Select on one of the above mentioned views to turn on thumbnail view.Even if the thumbnail preview supported view is turned on for a particular folder, thumbnails for files won’t be displayed if the File Explorer is configured to show icons instead of thumbnails.Several posters stated that the issue pertains to the Windows UI Shell and several solutions exist: A solution that worked for me: I found that none of the steps advised above (or on other sites) was working.However, the folder I was working in was part of a "Library." I found that if I switch to working in the original file location, I no longer have the problem.Click the File menu and then click Change folder and search options to open Folder Options. Under Advanced settings section, uncheck the option labelled Always show icons, never thumbnails, and then click Apply button to enable thumbnails in Windows Explorer.If a file is selected in the particular folder, you might see just Options instead of Change folder and search options. If the File Explorer is displaying blurry thumbnails for one or more files, it could be because of the corrupted thumbnail cache.Many users who are on Windows 10 are reporting that Windows 10 File Explorer doesn’t display thumbnail previews for pictures and videos.
Right click the problem folder to go to folder properties and then click restore defaults.Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead?
