    I suggest that you try to perform a Repair Upgrade. It can repair problems such as corrupt Windows settings, Windows Update issues, registry entries, and corrupt system files.

    Follow the guide provided by Andre Da Costa.

    Hi Paul. Yes, I did go through all of those settings a few times to make sure. I also made sure win 10 had all the recently updates. Also, looked at the advance file explorer options.  Tried different players. All with no luck.

    Btw I really  appreciate you working on this issue to help me.

    Sorry for the delayed response.

    Did you already go to Folder Options? If not, please try it.

    => Open the folder

    => Click on the View tab.

    => Click Options to open Folder Options.

    => Click on the View tab.

    => Make sure to remove the checkmark for the Always show icons, never thumbnails option.

    => Click Apply.

    => Click OK to complete the task.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted.

    Hi Vmass,

    I'm Paul, an Independent Advisor and a Windows 10 expert. I hope I can help you with your concern.

    Can you please elaborate on the issue?

    Are you referring to the video's thumbnail preview?

    It's better If you can provide a screenshot.

    Thanks.
