Thumbnails are not showing in Windows 10: your actions

First, open the Start menu and type "Disk Cleanup" in the search bar, and select the Disk Cleanup application

Find here the Files to Delete list, which will contain the various types of saved data that Windows can safely delete to clean up space.

You can check the boxes next to all items, or if you only want to delete thumbnails, then uncheck the boxes for other items (for example, Downloaded Files and Temporary Internet Files, etc.).

Now click "OK" to remove all of your selected items.

Then a warning message will appear: "Are you sure you want to permanently delete these files?" - click "Yes".

The process of deleting thumbnail cache files will take you about a minute. Afterward, restart your computer.

Now is the time to check your sketches. To do this, open Explorer or look at the sketches on the desktop. If the thumbnails are still damaged, the problem is more likely in the file itself. If so, open the file in the associated program and make sure it matches the faulty sketch created by Windows.
