Windows 10 shows you file previews for certain file types in File Explorer. For other files, it uses a generic icon e.g., the yellow folder icon to represent folders. This icon isn’t just used for folders in File Explorer. You will see it used in other places as well. Windows 10 has an icon cache that it maintains and references each time it needs to display an icon. Unfortunately the icon cache can be corrupted and when it is, things break with the Start menu, the task bar, and even in File Explorer, among other things. To fix it, you need to rebuild the icon cache database. Here’s how. More info at https://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/rebuild-the-icon-cache-windows-10/
