Lately, I’ve switched to using HEIC images to conserve storage space, and I’m quite satisfied with the format’s quality and compression benefits. However, I’ve encountered an issue with the extended loading time of thumbnails when I access a folder containing HEIC images. While I expect the initial load to take some time, it’s frustrating that every time I reopen the folder, the HEIC thumbnails are reloaded from scratch.

I’m looking for a solution in Windows 11 that can cache HEIC thumbnails to enable quick access to the folder contents after the initial load.

I store the images on my hard drive, so I anticipate they should load swiftly. Despite having thumbnail caching enabled in my Windows settings, it doesn’t seem to be functioning properly.

Here are the system specifications:

– Device: HP Envy 17 2023

– Processor: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1355U, 1.70 GHz

– RAM: 32.0 GB

– OS: Windows 11 Pro 22H2

– Storage: 1TB SSD

I appreciate any guidance or assistance in resolving this issue.
