A while back, I updated my computer to the most recent windows version and for a while the pictures of the videos that I have on my computer used to show up, but now it just shows the picture of the program I use to play them.
Solution
You can try resetting the thumbnail cache, they can become corrupt.

Normally Realtimes. Realplayer. They showed up for a while after I updated it, but then the pictures slowly went to the picture of the programs I use.

The new windows update may not support that program anymore.

It doesn’t matter what program I use, it still does the same thing.

Are you talking about when viewing a picture or video or are you referring to the icon shown in the windows file explorer? Screenshots also help.
Such as you want it to show like this

That’s the problem I’m having. So what do I do? I want those pictures back. And with my music as well.

Open file explorer (the yellow folder icon), click on View at the top then Options > 'Change folder and search options' and View again and uncheck the following, Apply, Ok
