Here is how to prevent it.<\/p>\n<p>Note: By default, Windows 10 stores the thumbnail cache in *.db files under the following folder:<br \/>\n<i>C:\\Users\\you user name\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Explorer<\/i><\/p>\n<h3>Here is How to Prevent Windows 10 From Deleting Thumbnail Cache:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"w10steps\">\n<ul>\n<li>STEP 1: At first, open the <b>Registry Editor<\/b> app. To do so, just press Win+R, type <b><i>regedit.exe<\/i><\/b> and press OK.<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/info.greatis.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/11\/windows-10-open-registry-editor.png\" alt=\"windows-10-open-registry-editor\" class=\"responsive-img\" \/><\/li>\n<li>STEP 2: Then go to the Registry key <b><i>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\VolumeCaches\\Thumbnail Cache<\/i><\/b>.<br \/>\nWarning: If you are running a 64-bit Windows version, you have to go to the Registry key <b><i>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\WOW6432Node\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\VolumeCaches\\Thumbnail Cache<\/i><\/b>.<\/li>\n<li>STEP 3: After that, modify or create a new 32-Bit DWORD value <b>Autorun<\/b> on the right pane, and set it&#8217;s value to 0.<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/info.greatis.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/02\/windows-10-prevent-from-deleting-thumbnail-cache-300x158.png\" alt=\"windows 10 prevent from deleting thumbnail cache\" class=\"responsive-img\" \/><\/li>\n<li>STEP 4: At last, restart Windows 10.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Prevent Windows 10 From Deleting Thumbnail Cache<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":725,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
