Icon previews not showing

So I have a bunch of images everywhere and their preview images are not showing up in finder. Yes I have "Show Icon Preview" enabled for every directory As you can see, the "Music Preview" shows up for the music files but it's not working for the images.


This is very annoying to work with because I have to change the view to a column or gallery then view each image one by one to find the one I am looking for. Any idea how to fix this?


I have OS X Monterey on a new 2021 M1 Pro MacBook Pro

Try booting into Safe Mode then restart normally.
