Just at the point when I upgraded from the original M to the M5, Windows started showing .CR2 files from the older camera as thumbnails. Still no such support for files from the "new" camera?

I do use Fastone, but it would be nice to see thumbnails natively.

Since you don't say which version of Windows, I might assume it is an older one like 7 or you haven't updated for a long time ?

My bog standard Windows 10 Home (automatic updates) displays my M5 .CR2 files no problem at all using File Explorer and I have not added any special apps or codecs. It didn't used to originally but it does following an update a couple of years ago.

Hi, that's weird because I am on the latest windows 10 also. I apologise to all the people who have also replied, but I haven't had a chance yet to try the codec downloads. Life is getting in the way right now.

I just checked again and my Windows also displays the .CR2 files from my newer (than M5) 6D ii as well.
