Les icones de mes fichiers n'apparaissent plus dans l'affichage des fichiers wous Win 11

Correct answer davescm

To show icons for PSDs needs two things.
1. The PSD needs to be saved with maximise compatibility from Photoshop. You can set this in Preferences > File Handling and it adds a flattened version of the file to the PSD that can be read by other apps including codecs.

2. You need to add a codec to Windows to read the PSDs and display the thumbnail icons as images. Neither Microsoft or Adobe provide this, but they are available online from third party developers. A quick search for 'PSD icon display thumbnails' will give you options.
