Thumbnail Icons Not working on new computer running 2015 SP3.0

I just got a new computer, and can't figure out how to display files in explorer to show as thumbnails. I have Tools,options,System Options, Show thumbnail graphics in windows explorer checked, but all I see is a generic solidworks file icon.

And keep in mind that you'll most likely will have to safe any PRT or ASM at least once since changing the thumbnail setting to get the desired visual look,

  Thanks Peter, but my problem was a windows setting, found it and now i all set.
  
  Open Control Panel and click open Folder Options. Here under the View tab, ensure that Always show icons, never thumbnails is unchecked. Alternatively, you could do the following. Open Control Panel, select All Control Panel Items and then click on System.Mar 8, 2015
