Pictures showing no thumbnails could be a Windows OS bug or file systems error caused due to corruption in files or drives. However, Windows allows you to troubleshoot the problem.  
You can check this [article](https://www.stellarinfo.com/blog/thumbnail-previews-not-showing/) to understand better methods to fix such issues. You can also delete the thumbnail cache and rebuild the thumbnail cache database.
