Pictures not showing

[jlhenson1158]

In my Pictures Folder thumbnails are shown. How do I have the picture shown when folder is open

Hi, I'm not sure I fully understand. Are you saying that you get thumbnails in the pictures folder, but not in other folders?

If so, right click somewhere in a folder where you don't see thumbnails and click "view > large icons".

I see the icons, I can change them to small, med, or large. The actual photo use to show up

What file extension is that please?

In explorer, can you please go to ... (three dots menu) > Options > View and then make sure "always show icons, never thumbnails" is not selected.

Usually when I open my picture folder I see actually pictures. Now all I see is the icon not the actually picture

I have the same problem with jpg or jpeg. I convert them and after a while, they don't appear as pictures. only the icon apps

I use to just go to my picture folder and could see the pic. now all of my pic have the thumbnail icon
