OH NO!

Back to the Thumbnail Cache deletion Problem again!

MS please fix this real fast!

I was one of the testers giving information that Win10 always deleted the thumbnailcache.

https://windows.uservoice.com/forums/265757-windows-feature-suggestions/suggestions/6557758-fix-the-annoying-thumbnail-cache-automatic-deletio?page=1&per\_page=20

Sorry page cannot be accessed any more!

All was fine after MS did some fixing with the help of MAAANNNY others that had the same problem!

Now I did the Fall Creators update! BAM! Back again.

Thumbnails get deleted ON EYERY reboot!

Thats really really annoying!

Do not try a solution. There is none!

The failure in the past was a database corruption. MS fixed it ( do not know how) and it worked. Now it is back!

Please dig into it an fix it!

    Hi Everyone,

    After several restarts recently, I noticed my icons were not being cleared.

    I enabled the Disk Cleanup task again and restarted my PC.

    Both the icons and thumbnails are being preserved now.

    Is anyone else seeing this new behavior?

    (Disabling the task is the only change I have made and I have restarted 3 times.)

    Hi Frank,

    Have you checked out Icaros?

    It might be worthwhile for you to have since you have such a large .db of thumbs. I played around with it and it works. It will "backup" your thumb .db in case Windows loses its thumbs.

    Check it out here:

    Icaros 3.0.2

    I hope it helps.

    Denying System to anything is rather a nasty hack and liable to cause problems in the future if/when changes are made. I wouldn't recommend this one.

    All that I can see is that my SSHD just a few seconds ago as I restarted lost the flash memory  on the drive and also lost all thumbnails at the same tine I restarted the computer 8 more times and it is all back to a 35 second start. 

    The problem with SSHD drives is you have no control over what lives in the flash portion or when. I used to have one myself and also benchmarked them extensively for potential deployment in a business environment. In my experience they just don't offer enough of a reliable benefit.

    First boot from cold and first app launches are seldom faster than a traditional HDD. However subsequent app relaunches and reboots are faster.

    This doesn't excuse the bug that Microsoft have introduced. But I can see how such variable performance could cause problems.
