So in windows 7, you could see the photo thumbnails before you clicked on a photo to open it. Now, in windows 10, all you get is this:
So in order for me to find a picture, I have to double click it and hope to find it. Is there a way to enable a preview of some sort so I can quickly find what I need?(Just like on windows 7 where it showed the picture)

In Windows Explorer, go to the View Menu > Options > View Tab, and deselect "Always show icons, never thumbnails"

In my Windows 10, View is a tab with a ribbon and Options is a menu on the far right of the ribbon. – PeterVermont – 2017-04-20T13:08:38.523

this doesn't answer the question, but it answers the question I came here for which is also helpful for people. Thanks! – doublefelix – 2016-05-24T18:48:24.870

I haven't changed any settings yet I see the icons. Try clearing your thumbnail cache. Search Disk Cleanup in Start/search bar and open it. Check Thumbnails and click OK.
If that does not fix it, rebuild your icon cache. I would also recommend restarting your computer after trying these options.

I only 'Photos', 'Microsoft Office Picture Manager' , 'Paint' and look for another app on this pc. :( – Piju – 2015-08-08T10:04:23.403
Try this to get back Photo Viewer. Then try setting the default app to Photo Viewer and clear/rebuild caches.

Click on the file folder icon at the bottom of your screen in the taskbar to open File Explorer.
Click on View in the File Explorer toolbar in the top of the window in that application.
On the right side click Options.
Click on Change folder and search options.
Click on the View tab in the new pop-up Options window that comes up.
Click on Apply to folders.
Uncheck Always show icons, never thumbnails. Stupidly this is the Windows 10 default setting.
Click Apply, then OK.
