I just noticed that I can no longer see thumbnails for the photos in my Pictures library, or the Video library, they just show up as the generic picture/video icon. The font used also seems non-standard. I'm not sure where to start looking to fix this. I'm currently running windows 8.1 with all theatres updates on a Surface Pro.

1.Open File Explorer

2.Click View

3.Click Options

4.Click on View tab

5.Make sure the check box against Display file icon on thumbnails option is checked under Files and Folders.

[You may need to uncheck the box that says Always show icons, never thumbnails.]

6.Click OK/Apply.

Many thanks for the answer to this. That tick box was well hidden. I'd have been along time finding it.

You are most welcome :)
