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 :)

[@zeyuluo8158]

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.

[@spyaiir]

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

[@yegoat05]

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

[@OneTechCity]

[@mereskimade]

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

[@VincentAnzalone]

Glad it helped you out! I haven't had to think about thumbnails since originally doing this. Nobody should have to think about thumbnails 😅

[@leonelantonio36]

TY, the only video with the anwser!

[@Zanzuki93]

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

[@VincentAnzalone]

Glad it helped solve that 😀

[@Romangelo]

Man... I've Windows Update disabled for years, after finally give it a chance to update, it's the worst decision I've made

[@DrHusky2749]

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

[@LPArabia]

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.

[@sanjitkumarsaha709]

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

[@bad_at_accuracy_]

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.

[@calvinfoo]

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

[@DroneOnWheelz]

Besttt

[@rghurst]

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

[@adrianoparmigiano1398]

It works. If you right-klick on the folder you have to expand the options, and then you can find the preloader there

[@artofdaviii]

[@TheMiracle_]

look it up

[@godfreybay716]

Dude, No improvement. No different.

[@BoyFromMa]

wow this was not short and sweet at all. 1 minute in and still nothing useful.

[@DrHusky2749]

It's literally just 6 minutes. Way better than those 20 minute tutorials

[@VincentAnzalone]

Short and sweet, no fluff 🙂

[@MeAndWifey]

Inside 6 minutes, he not only did a real life scenario, but included the installation procedure, both software's and their reasoning, as well as a demonstration. I'd say that's pretty to the point for fitting that inside 6 minutes.

[@zcutt1614]

worth every minute...
