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.

    Thank you so much. You saved my day!

    Donrt understand why Microsoft like to change things!

    However, since I didn't have the slighest idea on which options to choose, I just left all the same boxes ticked (including the 'show thumbnails instead of icons"

    Since I didn't make any changes, the page wouldn't allow me to save or apply my changes.  So I unticked one of the boxes and ticked it again.  I could then apply my changes

    After trying every possible suggestion, my previews and thumbnails on jpg files went back to normal once I uninstalled OneDrive. There was no need for me to restart my computer.

    Start --> Type Programs in search --> Select Add or remove programs --> find Microsoft OneDrive in the list of Apps & features --> click on Uninstall and type in password if prompted

    SOLUTION

    1.      Copy all directories and files under Pictures

    2.      Paste into the Temp directory under Pictures.

    3.      Check if Preview Pane works.

    4.      Delete all directories and files under Pictures EXCEPT the Temp directory which contains the copy of the pictures.

    5.      Move all the directories and files inside Temp to Pictures.

    6.      Check Preview.
