thumbnailCache.dat is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like thumbnailCache.dat, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like DismHost.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. AVG PC TuneUp) could share the same thumbnailCache.dat file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DAT file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when thumbnailCache.dat is attempted to be loaded either when AVG PC TuneUp is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common thumbnailCache.dat errors include:
Your thumbnailCache.dat file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with AVG PC TuneUp), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, thumbnailCache.dat file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading AVG PC TuneUp, system crash while loading thumbnailCache.dat, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your thumbnailCache.dat issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many thumbnailCache.dat error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:
If Windows Update failed to resolve the thumbnailCache.dat error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.
If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate thumbnailCache.dat file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free thumbnailCache.dat files for every applicable version of AVG PC TuneUp. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:
If this final step has failed and you're still encountering the error, you're only remaining option is to do a clean installation of Windows 10.
GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve thumbnailCache.dat problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.
CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying thumbnailCache.dat to your appropriate Windows system directory. AVG Technologies typically does not release AVG PC TuneUp DAT files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing thumbnailCache.dat and all other DAT files for AVG PC TuneUp. An incorrectly installed DAT file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
