Can't preview jpg files in the preview pane -- Windows 10 Fall Update (1709)

Split from this thread.

I have this issue and it started with the Windows 10 Fall update (1709).  jpg files are not displayed in the preview pane but other files are displayed (pdf, docx, xlxs, etc.).  I've tried setting the default jpg program to several different programs to no avail.  Prior to the 1709 update, jpg files were displayed in the File Explorer preview pane.  It seems to be an issue with the 1709 update.

    Thanks for sharing what works.

    What makes it even more interesting is that of the 4 computers I have (all different versions of Surface), some have always worked and some partially.

    Found out how at least in my case:

    1. I found at some folders, jpg files show preview with no problem, e.g. the root folder of OneDrive or C drive somewhere. 
    2. Copied the file that does not show a preview in a subfolder in OndeDrive to that folder where jpg files show previews.
    3. The file showed a preview at that folder. I copied it back to the original folder where it did not show a preview before. Now it shows a preview there!

    Why MS does not address this issue?

    "Always show icons, never thumbnails." is Unchecked, but I still don't see jpg files in the preview pane.
