Dear all friends,
Nice to meet you. Greetings from Myanmar.
I have a problem.
I am using Mp3tag on my PC (Window 10).
I make photo covers on movie files using Mp3tag. It is easy to use.
When I have updated my PC's Window 10 to lastest version.
And I have found that photo covers on my movie files have been disappeared.
Please help me. How to fix it.

First of all I would like to know where the pictures disappeared. Is it the Windows Explorer?
Have you modified any explorer settings so that only the icons are shown?
You could consult internet pages that deal with windows settings like this external one:
> **[4 Ways To Display Thumbnail Previews For All Video Files](https://www.raymond.cc/blog/display-thumbnail-preview-video-files-windows/)**
>
> Anybody that uses Windows File Explorer will know there's a few different modes to display files. They can effectively be viewed as lists, detailed lists,
Anyway, you could check your MP4 files and see if they have embedded pictures.
Load them into MP3tag,
apply the following filter:
%\_covers% PRESENT
and to check the opposite (no embedded pictures)
%\_covers% MISSING
If there are embedded pictures, you could export them to the file folder.jpg.
Use the corresponding action for that:
> **[Export Cover to File – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/actions/export-cover/)**
>
> Documentation on the Export Cover action type that can be performed as Quick Action or as reusable workflow from Action Groups. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.
For files where there is no embedded picture and windows does not show any pictures I am afraid that you have to look for them again.
