D500 and generic icons

I bought a new D500 last summer and I'm getting an assortment of issues with raw files. NX2 doesn't recognize so i downloaded Nx-i and that works.

Windows photo viewer doesn't work and the most frustrating issue is nothing recognizes NEF thumbnails, so when i am importing or attaching all i can see is a generic icon. I've done a lot of searching and all of the results seem to be associated with Lightroom or PS. Is this a common issue?
 
The D500 is a very new camera and all programs probably haven't caught up with the new drivers needed for it. Some of the D500 shooters should be along shortly to help you more.

Good. Sometimes you have to do it again. I have been working on friends 2010 iMac.
He originally had a fan failed and you could fry an egg on his iMac, I replaced the fan and it was a complete tear out but it would not boot properly bad graphics. We determine not to sink any more money, new drive, etc. It was 7 years old. When I started in October I got a teen agers disease and it knock me down quite literally! At 71 it really does! It took two blood tests and blood culture to determine that I had "Mono"! No cure just take it easy and rest. So this past week I started on the video card thought I had it but when I booted up I got these horizontal lines but when I logged in it was okay and if I logged out and back in no lines it was okay. So I asked my friendly Apple Certified Tech whats going on if the card was bad why wasn't I getting these lines after I logged in. He told me to boot off another system drive as the system may be corrupted and what do you know it worked I even had tools to run the fans and graphic card. So all I did was re-installed the OS and not it works. It goes show you that computers are a mystery whether Mac OS X or Windows 10 and I use both.

That’s the original paste. I had to clean and prepare the new paste. I chose not to use K5 on the GPU from what I gathered. I am most surprised it working I thought for sure it was going south. It was not hard taking these iMac apart just watched the videos. Take your time. It is easier than doing a clutch on a FWD car that I did twice and the last one I paid the mechanic I am too old for laying on the cement!
Reinstalled the OS and no lines. Its ran perfect over night.
