Windows 10: Preview is not working in my File Explorer

Despite turning on the feature, File Explorer is not displaying the PREVIEW image for .jpgs.


I get a generic image icon, not a thumbnal of the actual file. I depend on this feature to fine photos!! Please help me figure out why its not working.


is there some hidden setting preventing the Previews from displaying?

What can I do to bring the feature back?
