PDF icons on desktop turn into black squares
Hi all. My Windows 10 Pro x64 computer (v. 10.0.19042, Build 19042) has developed an odd problem. The desktop icon for PDF files (a wallpaper image of the first page of the file), turns to black after a period of time.
If I right-click on the desktop, select "Display Settings", and change "Scale and Layout Size" to a different setting, such as 125%, the icon will then display properly for a short period of time, but will eventually revert to a black square. Resetting the scale again will always, but only temporarily, cure the issue.
I have the latest drivers for my GeForce GTX 1070 Ti graphics card (NVIDIA Studio Driver v. 461.40)
I have the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (v. 2020.013.20074), and "Enable PDF Thumbnail Preview in Windows Explorer" is enabled. It is also set as the default program for opening PDF files.
Also, I have deleted the icon cache several times using a batch file.
Does anyone have any ideas on what's happening?
Thanks.
