    Since the Windows 10 v1909 update, this PC (see link for config) has been having the following File Explorer issues:

    • Thumbnails not loading:

    • File Explorer starting with only Quick Access, This PC, and Libraries in the left shortcut pane, with the main pane saying "Working on it" (it loaded instantly before):

    I know this isn't a storage device issue as all my storage drives are good:

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 v1909 Update

    Microsoft is making changes how updates are delivered and one example is that if you have v1903 installed then update to v1909 is fast, more like any monthly cumulative update.

    Quote from v1909 release announcement:

    November 2019 Update, as we have worked to make this a great experience for all devices, and an exceptionally fast update process for devices running the May 2019 Update.

    Windows 10 v1909 update breaks File Explorer

    Windows 10 April 2018 Update(SCU) Partially Breaks MKV File Support?

    Yeah, they play perfectly fine.

    Thanks, this did the trick perfectly!

    I'm scratching my head then, because so far every computer I update to 1803, even fresh installs, can no longer read the details of mkv files. But at least icaros fixes the problem for now. Hopefully the bug is fixed in Windows natively eventually.
