Pimcore: why I can't see assets after instalation?

Question

After instalation of Pimcore and logging in into admin account I can't see image assets:

I tried both demo and skeleton install package and the issue is the same on both instances.

I am using Xampp 3.2.4 (Apache and MySQL) on Windows 10.

What I have tried

1. Since the problem occurs on both Pimcore installations (demo and skeleton), I figured the problem was with the Apache user access settings for the assets folder. So I went to my assets folder (../project-name/web/var/assets) and checked permission in settings (left click on assets folder > properties > security). Giving full control to all users didn't helped.
2. Second thing I've tried was checking if Pimcore system requirements are checked (especialy imagick and gd extensions). So I went to Pimcore console and run pimcore:system:requirements:check command. And every thing seems fine:
3. Last thing I've tried was changing in httpd.conf in section to "Require all granted" but it didn't help.

Also, if I go to assets folder on my computer, files are there and I can open them normaly, so they are not missing.

PS. I'm not a developer, I need local instalation of Pimcore to learn content creation. So keep that in mind :)

In Pimcore Admin open the Settings -> Thumbnails -> Image Thumbnails . In this section you can define ratios for images and how the should be resized.

Click on the add button, name your thumbnail setting properly and click save. You can now define a transformation you like, e.g. Resize. This allows you to resize images with a fixed with.

After creating some settings navigate to your projects root via console and enter the commands to clear the image thumbnail cache and optimize the images

bin/console pimcore:thumbnails:clear

bin/console pimcore:thumbnails:optimize-images

Pimcore 6 Documentation gives you a detailed overview on how to use this feature and set multiple ways to generate thumbnails.
