Thumbnail issues with Office 365, and other - Microsoft Community


hello all.

i have windows 10 laptop pc. used had office 2013 installed, after organization purchased office 365 pro plus 2016 installed , uninstalled office 2013. that's when problems started; ones found:

1) thumbnails files created using word, excel, powerpoint etc have different type. have @ screenshot 1. word documents seem match icon of new word, excel documents have older icon, , powerpoint documents show actual first slice. supposed like? if no, how fix it? works anyway, annoying eye...

2) mouse right click > new word/excel documents missing. see 2nd screenshot. i've tried few suggestions found. nothing works.

the exact same problem happened 2 different laptop pc's windows 10, of different brand , a  4 year age difference , $1500 price difference... updated. on old laptop, tried uninstalling every office version , installing 365 again. didn't fix it. it's either windows 10 or office 365.

thanks in advance.

hi xenios,

 

note: if key/value created, not need create new one. follow steps , see if there key/value missing needs added.

 

please try following steps below fix issue word:

  1. run regedit (windows key + r, type regedit , press enter), navigate to hkey_classes_root, ctrl + f -> find .docx key.
  2. left click .docx key, there should 3 string values on right: (default), content type, perceived type. double click (default) string value , change data "word.document.12"
  3. right click .docx key > new > key, name "word.document.12"
  4. right click new key word.document.12 > new > key > name shellnew
  5. right click shellnew key > new > string value. change name of new string value "nullfile" and press enter.
  6. go to desktop, press f5 (or right-click on desktop > refresh) and check whether "new microsoft word document" is in menu.

 

for excel, steps little bit different:

  1. run regedit (windows key + r, type regedit , press enter), navigate to hkey_classes_root, ctrl + f -> find .xlsx key.
  2. left click .xlsx key, there should 3 string values on right: (default), content type, perceived type. double click (default) string value , change data "excel.sheet.12"
  3. right click .xlsx key > new > key, name "excel.sheet.12"
  4. right click new key excel.sheet.12 > new > key > name shellnew
  5. right click shellnew key > new > string value. change name of new string value "filename" , data "c:\program files\microsoft office\root\vfs\windows\shellnew\excel12.xlsx"
  6. go to desktop, press f5 (or right-click on desktop > refresh) and check whether "microsoft excel worksheet" is in menu.
