.PNG files have blank thumbnails?

I tried clearing the icon cache and tried lots of tutorials. And I don't have any system restore points.

Hello @Scratchfangs,

Have a look at these . . .

> How to Change a Folder Picture in Windows 10

I hope this helps.

Already did that, didn't work.

Wild guess, but I've seen this happen before when I've not yet associated my *.png files to a specific program like the one you have associated with the *.jpg

I had this problem at one time. If my memory serves me correctly, I used Irfanview to open/resave the files and the thumbnails fixed themselves. HTH.

Agreed. Windows Pictures Viewer is quite cumbersome and slow. Try latest Irfanview Irfanview 4.58. I recommend using x86 version even on x64 systems (bettter compability with scanners and plugins).
