Build 1507 is end of life now and 1511 will be EOL in November. I'd suggest we work on tweaking the icon settings.

Reverting back to a prior build because of the highlighting is not a good idea! In Explorer on 1703, I see thumbnail'd photos and videos exactly as you did in 1507.

Go to Themes -> You will notice you are on a custom theme (probably a sync'd theme)

Click on the Windows theme or the Windows 10 theme.

An image from 'Back To 1507 Or 1511 Build'. Windows Settings showing Themes section with options to save and apply desktop themes.
