MP3Tag dooes not have an option to write ID3v2.4 ISO-8859-1. So you probably mean ID3v2.3 ISO-8859.  
As Ohrenkino already wrote the windows-explorer could not handle ID3v2.4-Tags.  
But at least since the Windows 10 Creators update in spring the explorer is able to show those tags.  
There is a thread in the German part of this forum about this feature:  
[Kann Windows 10 endlich id3v2.4 Tags lesen?](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/19221/1)

I never use the preview pane for MP3s in Windows but I just tested it with the latest Windows 10 (Fall Creators Update) and cover images in ID3v2.4-tags are displayed.
