It is possible that you need to manually enable the preference in Acrobat.

 

Got to Edit --->>>Preferences--- General --->>>  see the "Basic Tools" section, and tick the checkbox "Enable PDF Thumbnail Previews in Windows Explorer"

 

If this settings is already enabled, then  you may need to open Windows Explorer, clcik on the "View" tab and clcik once on "Preview Pane" to enable this type of view in Windows Explorer.

Hi,

 

The setting is already activated but strangely, after a recent window's update, the Large Icon thumbnail preview failed to display again. What am i missing or is there another update that fixes this problem?

 

Thanks
