Windows 10: Background of transparent .png images are black in Windows explorer

I have transparent background .png image files stored in my OneDrive and a second copy saved locally on my desktop. I am using both a 2019 MS Surface Laptop and separate tower Tower with Windows 10 with all windows updates.


In Dark Mode both laptop and tower:


When I view the files in windows explorer on my Windows 10 tower both OneDrive and Local folder instances, the background appears as white the desired effect. When I view them in windows explorer on my Windows 10 Surface Laptop, the background appears as black both OneDrive and Local folder instances - not the desired effect.


In Light Mode On Laptop:

When I view the files saved in my OneDrive in Windows Explorer, they still have the black background. When I view the same files saved in a local folder on my Desktop in Windows Explorer they have the white background.

I want the white background to show when I view these files in Windows Explorer in light and dark mode in Windows 10 on my laptop just as they do on my Tower with Windows 10. How can I make that happen?

I have read many other threads on this issue and tried those options switching light and dark modes, clearing folder cache, driver updates/roll backs, windows updates, etc.. They don't change the inconsistency of which color background appears.

How can this issue be resovled?

Background of transparent images are black in explorer

I have a folder of icons that I use for my design work and after moving to Windows 10, the explorer shows black background where it should be transparent/white. It makes working very hard especially when icon itself is primarily dark colors. Please suggest
a fix to change colors.

 

Photoshop: Creating Transparent Images

• PNG supports Alpha Transparency, that is that the image can have different levels of alpha (or opacity) throughout.
• GIF supports transparency too, but any part of the image can only be either transparent or opaque. There is no gradual shift, no "Alpha" level to adjust. (And transparency eats into 1/256 of your available colors.)
• JPEG supports neither form of transparency.

Internet Explorer did not support transparency in PNGs until IE7, I believe that it would show black instead of the page behind the PNG image. It did, however, support PNGs. (Which are still a great way to achieve a non-lossy, high-color image. (even without transparency))

 

OneDrive Personal shows images with transparent backgrounds as black

When viewing these in windows explorer, the backgrounds show as black for transparent images. When you have a logo with black text on it, all you see is a black rectangle.



Copying the same file to OneDrive for business or local drive, the rendered preview icon looks normal. The behavior only affects files in OneDrive Personal.
