    webm and mkv file tumbnail icon dosen't show up
    « on: April 04, 2019, 06:16:53 AM »
    hi

    i have been experiencing some problems displaying video thumbnails on my file explorer this happens to mkv and webm files and sometimes to mp4 files this happened after i installed a new ssd and reinstalled windows 10 pro on my laptop

    basically what happens instead of showing the thumbnail it shows the vlc or the pot player logo

    note: most of my webm files are stored on a flash drive

    thank you for reading

    The VLC logo is cause it's the app assigned to open them...
    To change this rite clik whichever file...select Properties ...and change icon...select from the drop-down list and select save
