Windows 10 Folder and image thumbnail problem

[hanswr]

Hello all.

Recently I'm having this problem with thumbnails using windows explorer, whenever I open a folder configured to use large or medium icons, all I see are blank squares instead of the thumbnails or icons. It seems like a refresh problem because just by going to the view tab and hovering over list view or detail view a few times I get the images.

It my be a little hard for me to explain it better because of language limitations but I recorded a little video of my screen to show the problem.

It is driving me crazy, I already deleted the thumbnails cache, and tried a lot of stuff I found by searching but nothing seems to work...

Hope you can help me with this. Thank you very much in advanced.

My windows version is 10 (1511) Build 10586.218

All drivers installed and working.

Glad you got it fixed! I only wish you would have tried the in-place-upgrade-repair instead of the Refresh!
f you're having problems with Windows 10 on your PC, you could use push-button reset to refresh or reset Windows.

Refresh your PC Fixes software problems by reinstalling the OS while preserving the user data, user accounts, and important settings. All other preinstalled customizations are restored to their factory state. In Windows 10, this feature no longer preserves user-acquired Windows apps.

Reset your PC prepares the PC for recycling or for transfer of ownership by reinstalling the OS, removing all user accounts and contents (e.g. data, Classic Windows applications, and Universal Windows apps), and restoring preinstalled customizations to their factory state.

The options above are great for what they are intended for, but you could also do a repair install of Windows 10 by performing an in-place upgrade without losing anything other than all installed Windows Updates.

This tutorial will show you how to do a repair install of Windows 10 by performing an in-place upgrade without losing anything.
