What To Do When Your Thumbnails Go Missing

What To Do When Your Thumbnails Go Missing

Have you ever looked into a folder full of pictures and only seen icons instead of thumbnails?  There’s an easy fix to bring your thumbnails back.

This should help you get your thumbnails back.

Type folder options in the taskbar search, then click “Open” or press Enter.
In File Explorer Options, click on the ‘View’ tab and make sure “Always show icons, never thumbnails” is not checked. If it is, uncheck it and click APPLY/OK. 

If you find this is already unchecked, do this:

Type default apps in the taskbar search. Click “Open” and under Photo Viewer select something other than what you are currently using (it’s okay, you can switch back later). Now look in your pictures folder.

We hope this helps you get your thumbnails back!
