Search your system for psicon.dll and rename it to psicon.dll.old. Reboot.

Note: you’ll lose thumbnails in Windows explorer for PSD files.

Yes, it’s a known issue and is the reason that Adobe ended the practice of letting the O/S generate previews for those files. Beginning with CS the psicon.dll was no longer installed with Photoshop.

I know this is an old post. My solution, CS3, was to reset preferences to factory default.
