Computer Help Needed -- Automatic Update and Now Previews of Image Files and Folders Messed Up!

Final Update: Because I'm tired of forking with it...

Ran the latest Win10 updates, rebooted, no joy. Ran the Icon & Thumbnail repair program again... no joy. Made sure all "view" settings were correct, and that I had the default program set properly... no joy.

I'm done with it! Will just deal with it until I get a replacement... or somebody here comes up with a different idea that hasn't been tried yet!

Thanks again for everyone's input!!!

Same problem here. I don't like Win 10 and don't understand how it works.
This is what fixed it for me;
Go to Graphics Settings, Performance Preference, choose Classic App, System Default = Photo.
I now see all my Pic thumbnails.

Just tried that... no change.

Every GUI setting you've tried that several have suggested, hasn't worked for you. I'm thinking since changing or checking settings isn't helping ... you may have a corrupt registry or at a minimum there is a registry setting messed up or in conflict with other settings.

If you're willing to give it a try, here is a link suggesting several possible solutions to fix a corrupt registry ... https://windowsreport.com/corrupt-registry-windows-8/
