disable thumb.db on windows 10 network folder

0

I know this question has been asked million times on the net, but no registry approach or group policies approach I found works in Windows 10 for network drives with Windows Version from Mai 2018.

I have several 50+ folders with few images inside and I want to rename them. However 8/10 times I get the notice

the action cannot be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program

I can see that thumb.db files are created. I assume this is the cause of the problem.

So how can I fix it for a current windows 10 system for network drives.

The second like says the opposite. Can you prove the statement somehow? – Matthias Pospiech – 2018-05-27T20:13:32.157

As a workaround, try to disconnect and reconnect to the network drive and see if it works. – iTechieGamer – 2018-05-28T10:14:57.387
