Windows 10: Blank desktop folders but with icon images inside.

There was a time, in fact this was the situation on Monday of this week, that I had loads of folders on my desktop and they were all blank.As in nobody could see what was in them, comes under privacy.However inside of each of these folders were all large icons showing a preview of that image.Loved this set up, what I don't want is preview images on my desktop as now is the case.Fatal update this week Windows 11 Version 22H2 OS Build 22621.1105.Now it seems it is either or, why, and has anybody found a way to have the old combination, blank desktop folders, with image icons inside? Also
