how to display picture thumbnails windows 11

for a lot of people one drive is against the law as you must keep your files with you and have full control, such as engineers, lawyers, doctors, etc.

That means that one drive is a liability and I never use it. It really is a con for people to pay someone to hold their information for a fee. I can pay a local source to store my backup and I still have control and it is 1/8 the cost.

That doesnt work and nothing else either! This is entirely caused by one drive and disabling doesnt allow the thumbnails to be seen either, windows is a total disaster

George I don't understand what you're talking about. Where is it a law that you must keep your files with you at all times and have full control? even if you did have to do that by law, One drive is no more than a back up system for people like that they can easily have all their Files all the time on their machines as a choice. It seems like you have never even used the product? Please see the options in the OneDrive admin tool on your machine or perhaps find a YouTube video to better understand how the product works.

I've had the same problem with viewing my photo thumbnails. Countless experts later and the problem was not fixed.

So, here is what I did that actually fixed the problem.

Open your ONE DRIVE APP. Find the photo album you want fixed (one folder at a time), Right click. Go to more options at the bottom. Copy.

Go to your FILE EXPLORER. Find the corresponding file. Right click on it. Hit paste. Hit skip...and once transfer is complete, open that file and it should be good.
