I wanted to post more squibs last thread, but explorer bugged out on me again and I had to restart my pc in order to see thumbnails. It's not the thumbnail cache, I've cleared those files manually to try to fix this before.
I think I finally figured out the issue, so I'll share my fix here for anyone else on Windows.
Do not use the default Photos app in Windows 10/11 at all, it is majorly broken. It may seem fine, but it will cause explorer to bug out after opening enough files with it.
Edit the registry to reenable the superior Windows 7 photo viewer and just view gifs in a browser.
