Hi Syborg
Thanks for the help and support with this issue. I have made progress.
I checked your link for Microsoft Photos and as thought it told me that i already had that installed.
I searched for Honeyview and downloaded it. I was able to view my images with Honeyview but still no Thumbnails were being generated in the file explorer pages ... just generic icons of Honeyview logo.
I searched some more and found a relevant post on DP Review website where someone had same issue. The writer recommended to download Silkypix Raw converter to make sure all required Fuji Codecs were available on the machine. I did that..... and voila. After a restart the Honeyview icons began changing to proper Thumbnails and all populated quickly with 100% success. What a relief.
Thanks so much for the help especially for recommendation of Honeyview. It has a nice sharp preview image and im able to run slideshow on it to quickly pan through a full set of images. I appreciate your time helping..... Thanks
Kindest Regards.......... Steve
