Thumbnails in open dialogue missing (Win10/AD)


Recommended Posts

On a Win10 system of a friend the thumbnails were blank only in the open dialogue windows. 

Done:
* Purge Thumbnail Cache
* Install SageThumbs
so far no change

Then: 
* The last Win10 function update had not been installed, so I had her do that. 
done that, the thumbnails appeared in all open dialogue windows except in AD

It seems, that thumbnails are still only generated when the folder ist opened in explorer directly, but in all apps except Affinity after that they are shown in the open dialogue. 

Any ideas?

This may be too obvious but have you checked the view settings in the Open dialog to make sure that icons are requested?

It is set to "large" and shows large blank "pages" with the filenames beneath instead of the thumbs. SVG also has thumbnails in explorer.

But it seems to work now, or for now, she says. I am not sure what is going on there ;)

Will come back to you if anything changes again...

Very strange. It seems to work one time, the other time it does not. Without any changes to the system in between. 

Is she looking at different folders? Each folder has its own viewing options, and perhaps some are set to display icons (thumbnails) and some aren't.
