What I wanted to...

Also, I have no idea how or why my post also ended up here:

My problem with thumbnail images does not happen on a phone!

After dumping the Thumbnails caches from Explorer and Sagethumbs, all image thumbnails icons load fine at first. Then all of a sudden thumbnails of vertical JPG images become squeezed into...

I did reset the Windows Update Repair history and it didn't fix the problem.

I'll have to try the In-Place Upgrade. I did make a Windows 10 Pro Repair Disk soon after I got the computer. This...

Hi again,
