Icon Preview on desktop keeps needing to be restarted

Hello,

I have a MacBook Pro of only 3 weeks. I have a lot of files showing on my desktop, and I wish to have the icon preview active, otherwise I just see generic file icons for each one.

So I go to view options and choose Show Icon Preview. Everything is fine. But now, EVERY single time I turn my Mac off and back on, the icon preview no longer works. The Show Icon Preview box is ticked - and I have to untick and tick it again to get the preview to work again. This was rare on my old Mac, whose data is now all on this new one, but now it is happening EVERY single time. Restarting Finder and fixing the view options only works once, and needs to be done over and over again when the Mac starts up.

Does anyone have a fix or explanation? This is becoming incredibly frustrating, considering how expensive this Mac was, and how new it is. I don't understand why it keeps doing this.

Thanks,

Andrew C
