Hi Peter,
Installing the Google WebP Codec should resolve the issue.

I need some help, the webp images just don't have any thumbnails in explorer.
I have this WebP Image Extension installed and it worked for a while, but a few weeks ago it just stopped working. It's possible 25H2 broke it. I've tried reinstalling but it didn't help.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
