I think there must be a setting somewhere in saving files, maybe in settings.

you can try this:
and to make sure, you shoiuld check that thumbnails are enabled in file explorer [windows 10 - I do not know if this has changed in windows 11]On the Start Menu, type Disk Cleanup and press enter > Select your C: Drive > Check only Thumbnails and press OK , when prompted, select delete files.
This process with clear the thumbnail cache resetting the thumbnail images

Thanks for the reply.
But no joy. Oddly,. PSD, PDF, a host of icons are thumbnails, but Xara won't budge. I have previous versions installed and am off to see whether they're still that program icon.
I might also try reinstalling the program.
It's a real, almost show-stopping annoyance, but not critical to the program working.
In any event, thanks for the reply. I'm using windows 10, because Microsoft says my machine isn't good enough for version 11.

Hey, George—
Another nugget-worth link is http://www.ardfry.com/psd-codec/ which is what I resorted to after my Xara thumbnails went sideways. It didn't solve the problem but what it did do is make EVERY file icon turn into a thumbnail...well,. almost but 90%.
And I have no reason why to offer, but in Win 10, Xara native thumbnail have always shown for me in a folder window:
My Best and extremely happy today,

My go-to approach is not to rely on Windows as it is very chuggy and throws hissy-fits like this all to often.
Instead, I use Everything, https://www.voidtools.com, and toggle from Details (Ctrl+Shift+6) to Thumbnails (Ctrl+Shift+1 / +2 / +3).
All blisteringly fast.
Ideal for viewing local cache XAR templates and components.

Nice to know Acorn. Thank you.
My thumbnails also have gone AWOL ... Not recently, I hasten to add ... Probably 18 months ago, and nothing I've done - re-registering DLL's etc. has recovered them.
Typically I drag XAR's into my workspace from Zoner Photo Studio (I have an old perpetual licence), that works well for me, so not a deal breaker.
