Guide: Icon and Thumbnail Cache

[devilink]

You can try a protected system. Every time you restart it, it will return to the state before it was protected. After 180 days, the icon cache will be automatically destroyed. The most obvious problem is that all the icons in the taskbar in the lower right corner are shifted. You need to clear the icon cache.
Don't know any good way to solve this problem?

Microsoft changed how the thumbnail cache works in the Fall Creators Update for Windows 10. Starting with that release, Windows 10 clears the thumbnail cache automatically using a feature called Automatic Maintenance.

Cleaning the cache may free up storage on the device but it comes at the cost of having to renew the cache when File Explorer is used. Windows 10 users who keep lots of photos in a single folder may experience issues when those folders are opened in File Explorer as it may increase the CPU load for the time it takes to generate and cache the thumbnails.

I'm not sure what you mean by a protected system, can you elaborate please?

To deleting the "NotifyIcon" folder from %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\ and see if that works.

Set all folder views to details, let your photo album app of choice do the caching. Windoze is pi--poor slow at loading thumbnails.
Same with audio files, never add a thumbnail to an audio file.

I know its a slow process even on best ssds but I need my thumbnails really... I think i will keep my settings at default for now, otherwise I forget these little things and on future bugs It wastes my time.
