Help re-enabling thumbnail cache

Go to solution Solved by Rainbow Dash,

There's the changes:

2018-07-23  20:33:15,216 : Setze Registry-Key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoThumbnailCache -> 1
2018-07-23  20:33:15,216 : Setze Registry-Key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\DisableThumbnailCache -> 1

2018-07-23  20:33:15,232 : Setze Registry-Key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\NoThumbnailCache -> 1
2018-07-23  20:33:15,232 : Setze Registry-Key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\DisableThumbnailCache -> 1

Though it just added these to the registry, but you don't need to delete these keys.

2018-07-25  17:41:53,451 : Lösche Registry-Key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer -> NoThumbnailCache
2018-07-25  17:41:53,454 : Lösche Registry-Key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer -> DisableThumbnailCache
2018-07-25  17:41:53,462 : Lösche Registry-Key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced -> NoThumbnailCache
2018-07-25  17:41:53,464 : Lösche Registry-Key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced -> DisableThumbnailCache

2018-07-25  17:43:19,154 : Lösche Registry-Key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer -> NoThumbnailCache
2018-07-25  17:43:19,156 : Lösche Registry-Key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer -> DisableThumbnailCache

 

Open Start, type Regedit and enter.

Navigate through the folder to these locations and change only these keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoThumbnailCache -> 0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\DisableThumbnailCache -> 0

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\NoThumbnailCache -> 0

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\DisableThumbnailCache -> 0

 

There is also an easier way to navigate to those registry keys. By just coping this the directory location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\

Paste that in the top bar of Registry Editor and hit enter and you will be brought to the location.

When you are at that location you will see a bunch of keys, the one you want are "NoThumbnailCache" and "DisableThumbnailCache". Double click on the name of those keys and you will be presented with a box that tells you to type the Value data in, then type in 0 in the box and hit OK.

Then do the same with this:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\

After running Win10Privacy on a clean install, like I always to, I forgot to uncheck the option that disables the thumbnail cache. Now I cant seem to get it to work again. Ive tried all the windows explorer options and registry hacks that google could find but nothing works. My only guess is to do something with the registry, but Im not sure how to do that. Ive attached the log of what it did, so hopefully you guys can help me reverse it.
