It might not seem like such a big thing, but it seems you can't view thumbnails of some camera raw files in Windows 10 Windows Explorer. It become a problem because many photo editing programs rely on the native Windows Explorer to select images (example, Affinity, Luminar, Aurora HDR all use Windows Explorer to select images).

I contacted Windows Help (I subscribe to Assure every year, without fail, and get all the support I need.

So, people with newer Nikons, Canons, Olympus... the latest codec release from Microsoft was v1607. It wasn't updated for Windows 10. And there's no 'date of release' as of yet for an update.
