  1. Open c4d installation directory and go to the "\resouces\libs\win64" folder, find "win_thumbnail.dll" file
  2. Copy the "win_thunail.dll" file and paste to the "C:\Windows\System32\" folder
  3. Click "Windows Icon", then type to search CMD, right-click on the "Command Prompt" and select "Run as administrator
  4. Enter "regsvr32.exe C:\Windows\System32\win_thumbnail.dll" to run the command.
  5. The notification window will pop up and the setting is complete.
