No thumbnails in Win10 Explorer

I have no thumbnails for my photos. This is not a simple problem, since I have tried both the simple standard solutions plus some more exotic. Pls don't slap the standard solutions. Do we have something that really solves this at the root? Here are some of the things I've tried unsuccessfully (some of them are described in some incomplete ways, why I perhaps have not managed to execute them successfully?).
