Windows 10: the thumbnails for my applications and etc are gone semi-urgent

how would i fix something like this?

File Explorer not showing thumbnails

Brink,

Many thanks for you reply. I have done all the steps you suggested, but no change,

When I open a folder containing photos, some open correctly but the vast majority open with thumbnails, but they very quickly get overwritten and you can not longer see the thumbnails.

Are there any more suggestions?

 

3dsmax files thumbnails preview gone.

Hi,

I realize that you are facing issue with the thumbnail view. I will try to help you with this issue.

This issue might occur due to changes made to the system file settings.

Let us follow these steps and check if this helps:

• 
  Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Control Panel”.
  
• 
  Double click on “Folder Options”.
  
• 
  Click the “View tab”.
  
• 
  Uncheck the following option, if it’s checked.
  
• 
  "Always show icons, never thumbnails".
  
• 
  Click on Apply and OK.
  

Reply with the status of the issue and we will be glad to offer our assistance.

Thank you.

 

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
