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 not the question. They are asking about the thumbnails that used to be on the actual folder itself not the individual files within it.

I was having the same problem after I updated from Windows 10 to 11. My file explorer would briefly show my photos' thumbnails then they would immediately disappear and be blank. What fixed it was pressing the windows key, searching for storage settings, then deleting the old versions of Windows (18 gb worth). Now the thumbnails are showing up.
