Windows 11: Thumbnail previews do not show on folders

Anonymous

My folders are appearing as blank folder icons, where in Win 10 they showed thumbnail previews of the contents.

I've searched online for answers, and most appear to apply to earlier versions, and tell me to uncheck the 'icon only, no thumbnail' choice in View|Options, but that is already unchecked, so that is not the answer.

Does anyone have an actual working answer? Thanks if you do!

    That is great news! Do you have any idea how long it likely will be before that reaches mainstream Windows Update? I'd be open to playing on my home-base machine, but I'm on the road too much just now to take chances with the laptop....

    Paul, some features are immediately backported next month as soon as they were ready(like weather on the Taskbar is available with Feb optional update). I am pretty sure it won't take much time as Microsoft has said features would be shipped as soon as they are ready. The earliest possible timeline is one month from now i.e. March 2021 optional update.
