I'd hate to have to wipe and reinstall on this machine for such a minor annoyance. In previous versions of windows, explorer.exe itself was responsible for thumbnail generation – has this changed?Īny suggestions at all – even if you aren't sure that they will work – are welcome. Open your my pictures location, click on organize on the top left side, click on the folder and search options, click the view tab and uncheck the top option, always show icons and never thumbnails, select apply and then look for and check the box, show hidden folders, files and drives and click on apply and save. This leads me to believe that explorer is set to show thumbnails, but whatever process is supposed to be in charge of actually generating them has failed somehow. Newly created images never generate thumbnails, only images that have been on the system since day one will occasionally show them. I can leave a window with missing thumbnails open all night and they will still never appear. Windows Explorer does not appear to make any effort to populate the missing thumbnails, and there is no appreciable CPU usage. Another screenshot, with a handful of thumbnails visible, can be seen here: Sometimes, a few image thumbnails will show up correctly, maybe about one in ten, with the rest failing as well. I've taken a screenshot demonstrating the problem, here: Please note that the “Always show icons, never thumbnails” option in folder options is not checked. For the vast majority of images, they completely fail to show up, showing the icon of the default image viewing application instead. Since I installed Windows 7 on this machine some time ago, image thumbnails have never worked properly. All right, I've got a pretty strange one here.
