Fix Slow Loading Image Thumbnail Previews in Windows 

THANK YOU!! honestly ive been trying to fix this FOREVER..... thanks for making this short & straight to the point!!

Thank you so much! This loading bothered me for so many years, I'm glad I found your video. Thanks!

Thanks for the video! Additionally, sort/group by date will also dramatically slow down the thumbnail loading, change to sort/group by date created or date modified will improve the performance.

OMG, thanks so much for this. I'm dealing with thousands of pictures a week and even after upgrading to an ultra-fast M.2 drive Windows kept reloading the thumbs almost every time I opened a folder. So aggravating to have a computer that can edit 4k raw video no problem but can't load thumbnails :)

Thank you so much. I am clearing out my Google Photos and having the thumbnails actually load is great

Dude! Thank you so much, I'm going through a ton of old photos and having the same issue. Another reminder that I wish I could have stuck with windows 7 lol

TY, the only video with the anwser!

Man you saved me from so much pain.

DUDE! THANK YOU! THE PRELOADER ESPECIALLY! AWESOME!

Thanks a lot this helped me with Windows Explorer freezing trying to display a large amount of images in my pictures Folder :)

great video... was looking for this solution for a long time.

Thank you so much my friend. You solved my problem in a very easy way.

Brother thanks for making this video... appreciated

great fix , thanks for this , really helped me out ! THIS WORKS

Thanks it’s a great help❤

man i love u

Thank you! Works and helped! :)

I was about to order more RAM but I knew 16gb had to be enough to handle some photo folders....Not often I google a situation and a working solution is right up top for me lol, thanks brother. Nice photos btw. I actually remember when I was younger I would go "exploring" (pun intended) through all the folders and seeing the thumbnail cache, I was like why is there copies of all the pictures that are small and blurry lol. Never knew they had purpose, never knew they did away with it, now older more savvy me can make sense of it.

Genuine solution. Thanks man 👍

WORKED!

Thank you.. I think the reason Windows stopped keeping the cached image database is that it can be retrieve some of your sensitive of a user thumbnail photos even after deleting the original image. The thumbnails can be as large as 256x256 and that is enough to make out what the photos were.

Press Start and type "Folder Options" 2. Click the "View" tab 3. Click "Reset Folders" 4. Under "Advanced settings:" scroll down and enable the box next to "Launch folder windows in a separate process". 5. Click apply and close all the folders 6. Open any folders and it should work faster now!

WinThumbs Preloader doesn't show up in the context menu in Windows 11 File Explorer. Does this program not work for Win11?

Windows ready screwed up. Load thumbnails take ages. Really hate it.
