Hi all, so I have a strange issue with thumbnails for video files not showing - it's just the Film & TV icon. This happens ONLY for video files - pictures thumbnails show up just fine.


The videos are typical MP4 files (H264 encoding) and play perfectly fine in the Film & TV app or Windows Media Player. And their thumbnails have shown up before. I can't be sure, but this may have started when I did the 20H2 install (fresh install, not upgrade).


I have the folder view set to "large icons" of course. Again this is Windows 10 20H2 and all updates are installed. I don't have any codec packs installed either...just whatever Windows 10 ships with. I've also followed all steps in this guide: Thumbnail Previews Not Showing On Windows 10! Fix it (nucleustechnologies.com) At the moment, I'm at a loss...I've never had trouble with this before. I do a lot of video editing, so not seeing the thumbnails is a big frustration at the moment lol! Any help or suggestions is much appreciated.


Thanks in advance :)
