How do I change the display of solidworks icon thumbnails in Windows Explorer?

Hello, I just did the installation of solidworks 2022 SP05 and I no longer have the display of my thumbnails in the windows explorer which is linked to the file type (parts, assembly or drawing).
I end up with only the SW logo on all my files...
I have however put the opening of these files by default to SOLIDWORKS LAUNCHER but it is not enough.

.../SolidWorks Downloads\SOLIDWORKS 2022 SP05\SWFileUtilities/

and to switch the display between icons and thumbnails:
Windows Explorer Options...

Kind regards.
