Windows File Explorer displays the thumbnails for various supported pictures and video formats when you open a folder containing these types of files.
Unfortunately, Windows does not support PSD images produced by Adobe Photoshop software. As such, File Explorer also does not display the thumbnail previews for PSD files which is very very difficult to select and open each and every photoshop documents if we don’t know which file to open and work on.
