Windows 10: image/video type not showing in documents

Yesterday i completely reset my laptop since it’s been running very slow lately. I am downloading all the things that I needed again and when I download an image or video it only shows the name and .mp4 or .jpg do not show at the end. When I open them in another program it does show it at the end but I need it to show when i have my documents opened. Can someone tell me how to make that reappear. This goes for all files not just images/videos.

Documents Destination

The next troubleshooting step we suggest is to restore the default location of the folders. To do this, follow these steps:

• 
  Right-click the Start button.
  
• 
  Choose File Explorer.
  
• 
  Type shell:UsersFilesFolder in the address bar.
  
  
  
  
• 
  Right-click the Documents folder.
  
• 
  Click the Location tab.
  
• 
  Click Restore Default.
  
• 
  Click OK.
  

Follow the same steps to restore the default location for your Pictures folder.



Give these steps a shot and check if the folders are unlinked from OneDrive.

 

Save images/documents to my computer WITHOUT OneDrive being in the link

We suggest that you change the Auto Save location to This PC only in OneDrive settings. To do so, follow these steps:



If the OneDrive available in the taskbar, follow these steps:

• On the right-hand corner at the bottom part beside time and date, click the up arrow to get the OneDrive icon and then right-click on it and then select
  Settings. Like the image shown below:
• Go to the Auto Save tab, Change the Documents
  and Pictures location to This PC only and then make sure there no tick for
  Photos and videos and also for Screenshots. Like what’s shown below:
  
• Click OK to apply the changes.
• Go back to step 1, go to the Account tab and click the
  Unlink OneDrive.
• Follow the step 1 once again and select Exit.

If the OneDrive is no longer available in the taskbar, follow these steps:

• Click the Start menu and type in OneDrive and then select the first result.
• Sign in with your Microsoft account associated with your OneDrive and then follow the instructions to complete the login.
  
• On the right-hand corner at the bottom part beside time and date, click the up arrow to get the OneDrive icon and then right-click on it and then select
  Settings. Like the image shown below:
• Go to the Auto Save tab, Change the Documents
  and Pictures location to This PC only and then make sure there no tick for
  Photos and videos and also for Screenshots. Like what’s shown below:
  
• Click OK to apply the changes.
• Go back to step 1, go to the Account tab and click the
  Unlink OneDrive.
• Follow the step 1 once again and select Exit.

Windows 10: Hide document thumbnails and show image thumbnails

(1) Show icons, which makes it impossible to view previews of your image files.

(2) Show thumbnails, which mean that the document files (docx, csv, txt) are also displayed as thumbnails. This makes the desktop look cluttered (in my opinion) and wrecks the user experience.

Is it possible to display the standard icons for certain file types (document files) and previews for image and video files?

Alternatively, is it possible to show icons in certain folders and thumbnails in image folders?

I am sure that I am not the only frustrated Windows 10 user who feels this way. Help appreciated.
