How to Fix Thumbnail Previews Not Showing in Windows 11/10 Explorer

Thumbnail previews play an important role in helping you identify content within image and video files. However, Windows 11 and Windows 10 can stop displaying them for several reasons. Older iterations of the operating system have also had the same issue.

In most cases, you’ll see blank thumbnails due to incorrectly configured File Explorer settings (called Windows Explorer earlier) or a corrupt thumbnail cache. But rarely, you could be dealing with something as severe as a malware infestation.

Table of Contents

Work through the fixes below to get all thumbnails showing in Windows 11 and 10 as soon as possible.

Note: By design, Windows 11 cannot display thumbnail previews for folders. Hence, the following fixes only impact file previews in Microsoft’s newest operating system.

Check Folder View Options

Your first course of action is to check if Windows 11 or Windows 10 is set up to display thumbnail previews in File Explorer. You can do that via the File Explorer Options dialog.

1. Select the Search icon or box on the taskbar and type file explorer options.

2. Select Open.

3. Switch to the View tab.

4. Uncheck the box next to Always show icons, never thumbnails.

5. Select Apply, then OK.

If you had to activate the option in step 4, File Explorer should generate thumbnails immediately. If you didn’t have to do anything, move on with the rest of the fixes.

Force-Restart File Explorer

File Explorer can also bug out for no reason and stop functioning correctly. The quickest way to fix that is to restart it using the Task Manager.

1. Press Shift + Ctrl + Esc to open the Task Manager.

2. Select More details (if needed) to expand the default Task Manager view.

3. Under the Processes tab, locate and select Windows Explorer.

4. Select the Restart button to restart File Explorer.

5. Exit the Task Manager.

If image or video files (and folders in Windows 10) still appear blank, try restarting the operating system instead.

Delete Thumbnail Cache

If the thumbnails are still not showing, the chances are you’re dealing with a corrupt thumbnail cache. Deleting it helps File Explorer regenerate previews from scratch.

1. Open the Start menu and select Settings.

2. Select System > Storage.

3. Select Temporary Files.

4. Check the box next to Thumbnails and select Remove files.

5. Restart your computer.

Delete Thumbnail Cache (Alternate Method)

If you have trouble deleting the thumbnail cache via the Storage Settings in Windows 11 or Windows 10, try this alternative method involving the legacy Disk Cleanup app instead.

1. Press Windows + R to open the Run box.

2. Type cleanmgr and select OK.

3. Check the box next to Thumbnails.

4. Select OK.

Restore File Explorer Defaults

Restarting File Explorer’s View options to their defaults might also fix issues preventing Windows 11 and 10 from displaying thumbnails correctly.

1. Search for and open the File Explorer Options dialog.

2. Switch to the View tab.

3. Select Restore Defaults.

4. Select Apply, then OK.

Revert Default Application

Is the issue limited to a specific image or video format? Setting up a different default program may cause that. Try configuring it to open in a native Microsoft app.

1. Right-click any file in the file format and point to Open with.

2. Select Choose another app.

3. Pick a native app– e.g., Photos (for images) or Movies & TV (for videos).

4. Check the box next to Always use this app to open files.

5. Select OK.

Install the Relevant Codecs

Conversely, image and video files related to non-supported formats in Windows may not display thumbnail previews. You can attempt to fix that by installing the relevant codecs.

For example, the iPhone’s default HEIC image format won’t render thumbnails on Windows unless you install HEIC Image Extensions.

On the other hand, the K-Lite Codec Pack can help you with uncommon video formats.

Update the Graphics Drivers

Outdated graphics drivers cause performance issues and prevent various Windows features (such as thumbnail previews) from working correctly. Check with the video card manufacturer’s website (such as NVIDIA or AMD) for a newer driver version or use a free driver updater tool to get everything up-to-date.

Additionally, it’s a great idea to check Windows Update for any Microsoft-verified display driver updates.

1. Open the Settings app.

2. Select Windows Update.

3. Select Check for updates. After Windows Update finishes scanning for updates, select Advanced Options. On Windows 10, select View optional updates instead and skip the next step.

4. Select Optional updates.

5. Pick any display-related driver updates and select Download & install.

While you’re at it, we also recommend applying the latest updates for Windows itself. They usually contain bug fixes for system-related features and just might help patch issues with File Explorer for good.

Run an SFC Scan

Try running a scan using the System File Checker. It’s a command-line tool that helps resolve possible file corruption issues in Windows 11 and 10.

1. Press Windows + X and select Windows Terminal (Admin) or Windows PowerShell (Terminal).

2. Type the following command:

sfc /scannow

3. Press Enter.

An SFC scan typically takes a while to complete. If it manages to find and fix issues, you might want to continue by running the DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) tool.

Run Anti-Malware Scan

If the issue with non-displaying thumbnails continues or recurs, you might be dealing with File Explorer-hijacking software. Use Windows Security to perform a thorough scan of your computer for malware.

1. Search for and open Windows Security.

2. Select Virus & threat protection.

3. Scroll down to the Virus & threat protection settings section and install any pending antimalware definition updates. Then, scroll back up and select Scan options.

4. Check the radio button next to Full scan.

5. Select Scan now.

File Explorer Displaying Thumbnail Previews Again

If you work with images and videos, then thumbnail previews are indispensable. Hopefully, the solutions above helped, and File Explorer is back to displaying them correctly. It’s an essential feature that’s well worth taking the time to fix. If the issue recurs (and it very well might), just run through the fixes above, and you should be fine.

Record a Video of Your Screen with Sound in Windows 11/10

If you want to record your screen on Windows 11 or Windows 10 without using any third-party software, you can use the built-in tool called Xbox Game Bar. This tutorial will provide you with a simple, step-by-step guide to record your screen and sound using Xbox Game Bar.

How to record screen on Windows 11/10 with Xbox Game Bar

Xbox Game Bar is a versatile tool that can capture and record the screen of an app, game, browser, or anything else that appears on your screen, along with audio, and save it as an MP4 video file. Here are the simple steps to use Xbox Game Bar to record your screen:

  1. Open the app you want to record, then press Windows key + G on your keyboard to bring up the Xbox Game Bar overlay.
    • If you are in a game, you will see a pop-up that says “Do you want to open Game bar?”. Click on the “Yes, this is a game” checkbox to open Game bar. This is a normal procedure to determine whether you are running Xbox Game Bar in a game or an app.
  2. In the Capture window that usually appears in the top left corner of your screen, click on the “Start recording” button (the circle button) to begin recording your screen.
  3. A recording timer window will appear, indicating that the recording has started and is ongoing.
  4. To continue your work while recording your screen, press the Win+G keys to temporarily hide the Game bar overlay. Note that the recording will not capture the Game bar overlay in the video, so you don’t have to worry about the overlay blocking whatever you are recording.
  5. To stop recording, press the Win+G keys to bring up the Game bar again, then click on the “Stop recording” button (the square button).
  6. The recorded video will be saved as an MP4 file in the This PC > Videos > Captures folder automatically.

That’s it! It’s not as difficult as you might have initially thought, right? Now, here are some additional tips to help you further customize and refine the settings.

How to change the default folder where Xbox Game Bar saves your recorded videos, game clips and screenshots?

To change the location of the default save folder, go to This PC > Videos. Then, move (or Cut and Paste) the “Captures” folder to wherever you want. Game Bar will continue to save future videos and screenshots in that particular folder, no matter where you move it to.

How to change the “audio to record” settings to include or exclude Microphone or other sources of audio?

To change the audio settings of your recordings, press Win+G keys to open the Game bar overlay. At the top of the overlay, click on the settings icon (the gear icon). In the left sidebar, click on Capturing. From there, you can select whether you want to include audio from the game, microphone, apps or system, or if you want to disable them all during screen recording.

How to quickly take a screenshot with Xbox Game Bar

In addition to recording your screen, Xbox Game Bar also allows you to easily take a screenshot of your screen by pressing “Win + ALT + PrtScn” buttons. You can also quickly capture a screenshot by clicking the “Take screenshot” button (button with a camera) in the Win+G Xbox Game Bar overlay. All screenshots taken will be saved to the same “Captures” folder.

Other Xbox Game Bar features

Xbox Game Bar also offers a number of customization options that can help you make the most of your screen recording experience. Here are some of the options you can tweak:

Keyboard Shortcuts

By default, the keyboard shortcut to bring up Xbox Game Bar is Windows key + G. However, you can customize this shortcut to a different combination of keys if you prefer. To do so, go to Settings > Shortcuts in the Xbox Game Bar overlay.

Performance Overlay

If you want to keep an eye on your system’s performance while recording your screen, you can use the Performance Overlay feature. This feature shows you real-time data on your CPU, GPU, and RAM usage. To enable the Performance Overlay, go to Settings > Performance in the Xbox Game Bar overlay.

Broadcast Settings

If you also want to stream your game live while recording, you can use the Broadcast feature in Xbox Game Bar. You can customize the streaming quality and bitrate, and even choose which platform you want to stream to (such as Twitch or Mixer). To access the Broadcast settings, go to Settings > Broadcasting in the Xbox Game Bar overlay.
