My most recent File Explorer Windows 10 Pictures folder is stubbornly producing icons instead of thumbnails. I tested the situation by by creating 1. A folder of the same dozen or so images I shot on Sunday without the .xmp sidecars, named 2022-01-02, and 2. A folder of the same images and their .xmp sidecars, named the same. The folder without the sidecars resulted in thumbnails & the other, icons. All of my other folders in Pictures besides the 2022-02 one giving me the trouble remain filled with thumbnails.
I'm especially nervous about correcting the situation, because I don't want to disrupt the other folders, which remain perfectly OK. And besides, I consider myself technically challenged, so I'm afraid any advice on what to do will be daunting, but it will be much appreciated.
My folders go back to 2014. I don't create a folder every month, but there are quite a few. I guess with as many images, some sort of correctible corruption is involved. I did look in Folder Options under View to check on settings when I was in this most recent 2022-01 folder that's giving me the problem. I took screen shots of all the boxes (checked and unchecked.) Then, I opened the same after I had opened one of the other folders that are OK and compared. All of the settings are the same.....
