FLAC artwork in Windows 10 Explorer

I have a collection of FLACs with embedded artwork. For the most part (perhaps 98-99 percent), Windows explorer displays the artwork correctly in the miniature view. (Displaying of art for FLAC files is new in Win 10 -- I don't have dbpoweramp with its shell integration installed anymore.)

I can't figure out the reason why, for a relatively small number of files, no artwork is displayed. I have embedded jpegs throughout. Covers are set to type "front cover." The art in those files is displayed corretly by other software (fb2k, Logitech Media Server, mp3tag, Rhythmbox etc.)

I just can't identify a pattern. I've tried re-embedding the artwork to no avail. (EDIT: I've also tried removing all artwork from a FLAC with fb2k and embedding a *different* jpeg as front cover. It didn't do the trick, either.)

The new native FLAC support in Windows 10 does not work well. I would call it broken.

You can turn it off as explained here: https://www.hydrogenaud.io/forums/index.php...st&p=905221
Then you can install the FLAC property handler.

Or you can wait for Microsoft to fix the native FLAC support, but I would not hold my breath doing that.

I wasn't aware of that problem. From what I understand after some googling, I think the answer is no. The issue does occur on some files which have JPEGs with sRGB colorspace embedded.

Thanks for the workaround. I might end up going that route. However, if there is a way to modify my tags so that they work with Win 10 (as well as my other software), I would prefer that. I have a large FLAC collection. The performance of Win 10's integrated property handler seems much better than the dbpoweramp property handler which I used prior to upgrading from 7 to 10. (I never tried the property handler you linked to.)
