Windows 10: Show flat jpg image as folder thumbnail/preview

I am making a library of models & textures for architectural visualisation. It would be extremely useful if I could clearly view the contents of folders. Right now, I turn on the "use extra large icons" and I manually choose a jpg from within the folder to use as a thumbnail.I works pretty well, but my problem is that the windows folders are setup in such a way that the thumbnail image is shown at a ~10 degree angle AND is partially covered by the folder icon on top see example bellow. My ideal solution would be to simply have a way to make the image thumbnail flat and not covered by t

Preview Pane for Images/Some Thumbnails/Photos not Working Only on OneDrive Folder

The preview pane and thumbnails as well as the Photos app are not working, but only on my OneDrive folder. It works fine on an exact copy of the same files that are not in the OneDrive synced folder structure (and known to Windows as being OneDrive).

• Open OneDrive Folder, navigate to photos directory
• Sony Raw images (.ARW) do not show thumbnails. (I have the Sony plug in installed)
• Double click on a raw file, Photos says "We can't open this file."
• Click on a jpeg file, and with preview window turned on, no preview appears
• Double click on jpeg file, opens fine in Photos, and then the preview window image appears

• Navigate to a directory that is not synced to OneDrive
• Sony Raw thumbnails show up fine. They also show up in the preview window.
• Double click on Raw file and Photos opens it up without problems

• Back to OneDrive photo directory
• Copy raw file to desktop
• Immediately the thumbnail appears and the file can be opened with Photos. The same file that it can't open from Explorer in the OneDrive directory

This is only happening on my desktop. My laptop is fine. Both same versions of Windows 10 Version 1709 OS Build 16299.19
