Thumbnails option missing from disk cleanup

I was having an issue with images loading a bit slowly in my folders and one of the suggestions was to do a disk cleanup and make sure the thumbnails box was checked.

However, I have no thumbnails box.  The last box is Temporary Files

There is a previous thread with an answer that is just a google search, not helpful at all.

Can anyone offer some help? 

Thank you

    From admin Command Prompt, run:

    sfc /scannow

    Press Enter.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32>sfc /scannow

    Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

    Beginning verification phase of system scan.

    Verification 100% complete.

    Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them.

    For online repairs, details are included in the CBS log file located at

    windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For offline

    repairs, details are included in the log file provided by the /OFFLOGFILE flag.

    This seems to have fixed the thumbnails showing up.
