After Sierra Upgrade Desktop Icons Don't Show Thumbnails

I recently did the recommended upgrade to 10.12.6 and the files sitting on my desktop now, for example, just show as the generic jpeg icon rather than the thumbnail image I had before the upgrade.

No big deal but is there a setting to get the thumbnails to show?

Yes click on your Desktop, then from the finder menubar click View, then click Show View Options and on the window that opens there should be a box to check to Show icon preview.

Got it!

The box was checked so I unchecked and then rechecked and we're cooking now.

Many thanks!
