In today’s guide, we’re going to show you how to fix the thumbnails issue once and for all.

Why are OneDrive thumbnails not showing?

There are several causes for this problem, but here are the most common ones:

One Drive settings – Certain settings will prevent files from being stored on your PC locally, thus making Windows unable to generate thumbnails. Software glitches – Less common reason for this problem are issues with the software. However, that can be fixed by resyncing files or by reinstalling OneDrive.

Before we start fixing this, there are a couple of quick solutions that you might want to try:
