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!

Cry me a river

Well that's rude. If it's not bothering you, then you have no need to be following the thread or commenting. Those affected by this issue have every right to ask Microsoft to sort it out. The only way to fix issues is to report them and to allow Microsoft the opportunity to fix them, so that their products work for all their users.

I would also say that Microsoft doesn't seem to view Windows 11 as a "test product" since it comes installed on new laptops - at least it did on mine.
