Is anyone else having this issue displaying downloaded PNG files in Windows 10?
Has anyone found a fix?
[edited] Is anyone else trying to save to OneDrive, or other cloud storage?
Here is just one sample - Sorry to single out Brooke, but it's nearly ALL the PNG files.
And I wonder if it's the masked images I'm seeing?
(I wish I could just pop screen shots here)

I don't know if anyone will be able to see these, no image shows in the preview:
--- but the first one: when I look in Windows Explorer, looks like just a jagged purple glitter square (I think it's the image masked)
--- and the 2nd is: when I open the file in Windows, the scatter is on a black background.
I'm pretty sure it's a Windows 10 or driver issue, I don't recall seeing this on my old Windows 7 PC.
But many of the image issues are just showing what I think the artist has left behind when using a mask.
I have more images to show, but I don't know how to put them here.
Okay - so people are getting a 404 error when trying to view. 
Trying again with iCloud:

Thanks for any help!

I get a 404 on your image links.
I get access denied...
but I have no problem DL and viewing this item on my PC (W10)
I've been testing more options to work out this issue, and I just discovered that it may be a Microsoft OneDrive issue.
I save my files in a OneDrive folder, so I can access from multiple machines.
But when I copied some files to a folder not synced to the cloud, I can view the images just fine.
To be clear, I'm not trying to see the files via a browser, I'm keeping them in a folder that is syncing to the cloud. It's still in a folder on my PC.
How weird is that?!
Pretty weird I agree. These impression glitches used to irritate me a bit until I found that just creating a new file of the same size copy pasting the old image into that new file, closing the original and then saving the new as the old name, makes these black backgrounds disappear, and when designers use filter forge or eyecandy these visual discrepancies used to get even more visible sometimes. But it goes away for good that way.
It has to do with W10, but you can use the file without any problem.
I always use the 'preview window' in my folders; so when I click on an item I can see it in the space at the right side, here it also shows the right way. I don't know if that is the right translation, I use a Dutch version of Windows.
WOW!
"I found that just creating a new file of the same size copy pasting the old image into that new file, closing the original and then saving the new as the old name"
You do this for every file?
I have many hundreds.
I wonder if that can be scripted.
"designers use filter forge or eyecandy these visual discrepancies used to get even more visible"
wow . . .
(I wonder if @Jordan and @Marisa are aware of this issue)
Thank you!
Thanks for the tip!
"I always use the 'preview window' in my folders"
But the issue is that I have TONS of these in a folder.
For example, I put all flowers in "Emb-Floral" and then I scroll through looking for the flower I want.
But I can try this method for the really bad ones.
Thanks!
You are more than welcome. Yes, it is scriptable. I had an action for that. I just threw all of the 'unsightly' ones in a folder and ran the action. I think it is a W10 issue also.
