Desktop switcher doesn't show background
I recently upgraded to W11 and now whenever I want to switch desktops, or create new ones, my background does not show up on the desktop switcher. It doesn't affect my workflow, just my OCD. Is there...

Seconding this, I first encountered the problem after cleaning the "Thumbnails" cache with the official Windows "Disk Cleanup" utility.

Does anyone know a method to force Windows to re-generate the thumbcache?
