I usually don't ask for help with software stuff because I love tinkering and fixing things myself, but I've hit a bit of a wall here.

When I plug my phone into my PC via USB and open up the "Kodak" folder, I'm seeing generic icons instead of photo thumbnails. My folder settings are definitely set to show thumbnails, so it's not a configuration issue on my end.

The weirdest part is that I can see thumbnails perfectly fine in every other folder on the phone—it’s just this one "Kodak" folder giving me trouble. Also, if I move a photo out of that folder to somewhere else and then move it right back into "Kodak," the thumbnail suddenly shows up. It's like moving them around grants them some kind of property they didn't have before. I know exactly what it is... they're missing the "resources" attribute.

I'm attaching a screenshot in the link. The photo on the right is from the main folder and shows up as an icon, not a thumbnail. Once I move it elsewhere and bring it back, it gains that "resources" characteristic and the thumbnail works, even in the folder where it was failing before.

I've already tried resetting Microsoft and doing a factory reset on the phone, but nothing works. This started happening right after I reinstalled Microsoft a few days ago.

If anyone has any ideas or knows what might be causing this... 👍

It looks like you just haven't enabled video thumbnails in your Microsoft settings yet—this video shows you exactly how to toggle that on. It’s a quick fix, honestly... should only take about 10 seconds.

It’s just a Windows setting, man. You don't have thumbnails enabled for video links. Here's a quick clip showing how to fix it, takes like ten seconds...

But I already mentioned in my first post, "My folder settings are already set to show thumbnails, so that's not it.>>" If that were actually the issue, thumbnails wouldn't be showing up in any folders—including Windows Explorer—not just this one specific folder on my phone while everything else works fine...

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it's some weird conflict with the version of .NET Framework I'm running now, or maybe my current Microsoft Visual C ++ Redistributable...

I don't really want to start playing trial and error with my system though...

Anyway, thanks for the effort and the link... 🙂
