    My problem is the thumbnails on a large photo folder do not auto-populate. It waits for me to get to a particular scrolling location, then populates the whole page, but not "above" or "below" the current screen. If I scroll down or up but don't hang around, the page would add a few thumbs but not all of them.

    It's as if Windows 11 is saying, "If you've never seen this page, you don't need to see a thumbnail".

    How do I fix this? And my folders have over 30,000 photos or movies. I'm not going to scroll for a week to get this fixed! There should be a way to force it. Perhaps it happens in the background...but I don't see this.

    Thanks,

    -Ambi

    I have the same problem with not showing photo thumbnails. I've tried all the suggested fixes. Nothing works. Didn't have this problem prior to upgrade to Windows 11. When is Microsoft going to fix this problem?
