Thanks for the link to the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack I was lost without this.

I despair at Canon sometimes. They get so much right with their consumer products, but then fail massively when it comes to supporting customers on one of the worlds most common operating systems. I don't see the logic in some Canon exec thinking it would be a good idea to make viewing files so difficult.

Sorry for bringing back an old thread, but wondering if anyone has found a way of seeing thumbnails of CR3 files in Windows 10?

And, I do want to respond that this really isn't a Canon problem, maybe a Microsoft "problem" or just something that doesn't seem important enough to any of the big companies to address.  Basically, Windows 10 came out before a bunch of the new cameras came out.  I had the same problem with a Sony and my 5d mk iv when they first came out.  Before Windows 10, you could periodically download Codec updates, which solved the problem.  They are not doing it any more. FastPictureViewer Codec Pack solved the problem for me with multiple cameras and brands, but they haven't updated their package for a couple of years. Actually DPP4 works well as does importing the raws now into Lightroom, but it has caused me to change how I am working.
