W10 ver 22H2 If I go to a Windows 10 folder - all of the jpeg files with have a thumbnail (as do png, tiff etc) Very few DNG files will have a thumbnail (usually none) As folders may have hundreds of files - the thumbnail view is essential to quickly find files without having to open...

This was resolved last month ..... I forced a W10 upgrade and it cured the problem. Advice was a W10 update had caused the issue

About 50% of the time when I book up W10, almost all desktop icons are just white ... and PC shows as busy. No matter how long I leave it does not recover. If I use Ctl_Alt_Del and log off, then log back on it does build properly. I have also carried out right-click Refresh on a correctly...

I have run Kaspersky scan - all fine and run MalwareBytes - it found some 'pup.optional' files - mainly registry files, dlls to remove and now clean. They were all associated with genuine programs so think they were no real issue. Anything else I should consider ?

The reason I run this .. was it became a free item on Give-Away-of-the-Day and all the reviews were positive. I even did a Google around first and the review sites were positive. However - learnt my lesson and will not use again.

Thanks for explanation on system restore - I thought it did drivers - especially as it showed a restore point for the 'Driver Boost start' An update on this issue - Rolled back driver - no change Tried to find correct driver on Nvidia site but it keeps failing as it wants Java installed and...
