Windows 10: Cant see photo's in windows 10 iCloud Drive

I'm a bit of a novice but here goes.All my old photos are on my ICloud Drive on my PC. When I try to open the files, some of the photos load and others don't. I can open them individually but they don't all display automatically, yet some do which are in the same folder. For instance, I open a folder and can see the file names or whatever. Some are just the file name and other's show the actual photo. I can click on the file names and it reveals the photo but it doesn't open automatically whilst others do. Please can someone tell me what I am doing wrong. I have about 5000 photos and cant ope
