Windows 10 keeps loading thumbnails like if cache doesn't work



Here is quick e.g. video:
https://streamable.com/7n78n



I tried many things. Unchecked in explorer folder settings to never show thumbnails, only icons. Tried also deleting all the cache files, even all the .db files in folder Explorer. Disabled turning off caching thumbnails in gpedit.msc. Disabled turning off caching thumbnails in registry...



I don't even remember them all. But It's like it doesn't cache at all.



Tried to look to go AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsExplorer them look on many many new images and see if the size of Explorer folder changes. And it is the same.



I don't know what is happening. To me it's like it always loads up thumbnails, doesn't take it from cache, maybe doesn't cache at all (seems to me like that). Maybe it's refreshing it all the time. Maybe reloading...



How to fix it?

Using THUMBCACHE VIEWER:
enter image description here



Idk but really it's like there is no cache of those files or caching is disabled or broken somehow, but... idk



I look on images and size of thumbnails cache files doesn't go up.



My Explorer folder looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/0UHEVs6





Now I realized that some images cache properly... and some don't cache or cache not properly... I think. Cuz:

But even... why? What it depends on? hmmm

  • Try to rebuild the thumbnails cache. The simplest way is in Explorer to right-click C:, select Properties, click Disk Cleanup, tick Thumbnails and uncheck all the other options, click OK and then Delete Files.

These are all the places I know where thumbnails may be disabled:




  • Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings > Advanced tab,
    under Performance click Settings, and ensure that Show thumbnails instead of icons is checked.


  • In Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc), drill down to
    User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > File Explorer,
    and insure that this policy is Disabled or Not configured:
    Turn off the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files.



  • From this answer,
    ensure that the values NoThumbnailCache and DisableThumbnailCache
    do not exist for the following keys (delete if they exist):



    [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer]
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindowsExplorer]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer]
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced]


    Create perhaps a system restore point before hacking the registry.
