I just solved my issue with PNG's not showing a thumbnail. I've been trying to figure it out FOREVER!

I opened up the SageThumb options and checked the PNG's. and clicked the OK button. It went through the Applying Settings stage and Boom, all my PNG thumbs are back.
(I had a folder open so I could watch them show back up after the Apply Settings process finished.)

I thought I had done this already...in fact I'm positive I had, multiple times. But here's what happens...

After I checked the PNG box and they showed up I got the confirmation from Windows 10 asking me if I wanted to "Allow This App To Make Changes" warning. After I clicked 'yes', they all disappeared. In fact, the Irfanview default icon that was displaying before was now the white paper icon.

So I did it again,
I unchecked the PNG's
let it apply the settings
clicked 'yes' to let it update the windows settings (to do whatever it's doing there)
I went back and checked PNG's again
let it apply the settings
clicked NO on the update window settings
PNG previews are back.

I hope this helps someone else as it appears to be a real pain in the arse.
Have a good day!

ps. still trying to work out SVG icon previews if anyone has an answer for that.
