Folders in Extra Large view only shows half of a thumbnail. How to make it full size?

Question

Hi folks!!! The extra large Folder view in Explorer is only showing a half size thumbnail. Is there a way to revert it to the windows 10 full size thumbnail? If not is there software that does? Thanks alot in advance.

Answer 1

There's no built-in method to switch to full size folder thumbnails, but you can replace the mask icon with one that will give you full size thumbnails.

Here's a free tool that I wrote to do that for you:

Hello Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query\issues related to

1. The "thumbnail.db" hidden files, which contain the data to display the previews, can be reset and rebuilt in a number different ways on Windows 10 if you're having this problem.
2. Run Disk Cleanup from Select C:\ Drive from Properties- > General -> Disk Cleanup - >Cleanup system files and also select Thumbnail. --If the reply is helpful, please Upvote and Accept as answer--

It works fine on my computer. I have Windows 11 Mini OS installed and Kaspersky as my antivirus, and it doesn't flag them as a threat
