In Windows Explorer thumbnails for PDF-files aren't created. It just displays the icons, other files (such as jpg's) work fine. I've already tried every solution I could find on the internet. Registry hacks, the fix by PretentiousName, changing the default pdf-program,… but nothing helps.
Strangely enough, the preview side pane displays the previews without problems.
Is there something else I could try? Identical computers with the same hard- and software don't have this problem.
This is really annoying as I have multiple folders with each 100+ pdf-files, finding the right one is a real pain…
The computer runs on Windows 7 Pro x64, my PDF-reader is Adobe Acrobat DC

It is as simple as 1-2-3 , install foxit reader. Make it the default pdf reader app (you can change it later, nothing harm). And see the magic, all the disappeared thumbnails will reappear. The easiest way i think. Even if you use adobe DC as default, the thumbnail will remain the same.
