Windows 10: Has anyone got thumbnails for mkvs and webms recently?

I downloaded Icaros, it did absolutely nothing, and then I downloaded K-Lite, which similarly did absolutely nothing. I still can't see any thumbnails on either file.

Support for MKV and WEBM format

How to run MKV and WEBM formats with movies and tv player?

 

Support for MKV and WEBM format

I honestly don't know about .Webm formats but Movies & TV plays .mkv movie formats quite well on my computer.

You've probably done this but you can try:

• Right-Click on the movie you intend to play.
• Open With Movies & TV.

That should do it!

 

Audio disappeared - got it back but now have odd mkv problem

Hi. While working at my Windows 10 PC yesterday, I realised there was no sound. My media players gave video only and Avidemux gave a warning “Trouble Initializing Audio Device”. All the obvious checks suggested that there was no problem, drivers were up to date etc.

I went to the sound icon in the system tray and clicked 'Troubleshoot sound problems' which told me it had fixed something but didn't say what. I now have my sound back but with some new issues:

• my WMP no longer plays mkv files
• my mkv files no longer show a 'thumbnail', just the logo of whichever media player is set to play them.

Can anyone suggest what on Earth happened yesterday? Many thanks.

UPDATE: I've found one or two mkv files that DO work with WMP and show thumbnails(!!). But the vast majority of my mkv's have the highlighted problem. All very odd...
