I am not sure where to ask this and I've searched and searched online but can't get an answer.
On my windows 11 installation some folders have that open folder icon with a thumbnail in it showing what the folder contains, some don't.
Any new folders I make does not show any thumbnails at all. If I go into customise folder and select a 'folder picture' this does not show on the folder at all!
If I drag a file into one of the folders that shows a thumbnail and hit refresh the folder icon changes to one without a thumbnail and there's no way to get it back to the thumbnail one.
Most of the things I read online says Windows 11 removes the ability to show thumbnails on folders but then other search results shows that Windows 11 can do just that. They cannot both be right.
Also, if the option is no longer available in Windows 11 like it was in Windows 10 and earlier, why are some of my folders showing thumbnails?!!!! Why is the option to personalise it and add a photo there??
Also in CustomiserGod (which won't run in 11) I can clearly see the two icons that make up the thumbnail folders. One icon is the back of the folder and the other is the front part.
I am completely confused!
Also just to make clear, I have unchecked always show icons and never thumbnails so that's not it.
Does Windows 11 show folder thumbnails or doesn't it.
If so, how can I make mine do so?
