Preview images are not displayed

I upgraded my operating system from WIN7 to WIN10.
I use LR Classic. I upgraded to LR Catalog v10 version.
In the left panel of the library, everything appears to be OK, as is the metadata information. Preview images just don't show up.
The v10.lrcat and v10.lrdata folders contain a lot of data, that is, they are not empty.
How do I make preview images appear?

Hi
Yes appears.
At the start of the study, the develop view was empty. I can't say at what
point the picture has started to appear there. There have been very many
experiments with different settings here.
Does the developer use the same Previews.lrdata images as the library?

Library and Develop use separate previews.

Did you follow Axel's advice, and try to set the monitor profile to sRGB?

If not, here's how you do it.

If it fixes the issue, it is recommended that you calibrate the monitor with a hardware calibrator.

This will also create and install a custom profile that describes your monitor accurately.

With Lightroom closed, press the Windows key + R, type colorcpl in the box and press Enter.

Add the sRGB profile, and set it as default.

Did you try disabling the GPU with the procedure I mentioned in my previous post?

Hi
I removed the GBU's use, as previously instructed to. I still checked it
after reinstalling the LR. The selection is OFF

Make sure that the images themselves are not being reported as "missing", do you see an "!" icon at the top-right corner of the thumbnails in the grid view? If they are missing, you need to resolve that problem before the previews can be generated.

If the images are NOT missing, have you tried to force LrC to rebuild them (select a few thumbnails in the grid and go to the Library menu>Previews>Build Standard-Sized Previews), does that help?

If the images are online, but building the previews doesn't resolve the issue, it's possible that the previews cache is corrupted. Close LrC, locate the catalog file using File Explorer, then rename the previews cache (will be called your catalog name Previews.lrdata), which will force LrC to create a new previews cache when you next start it. Initially all the thumbnails will again be blank but should start to automatically populate with the preview image as LrC will automatically start to build new previews.

It is possible that your monitor profile is corrupt.

I uninstalled and reinstalled LR.
I updated the video card to the latest version.(Nivida Quodro K2000D) It
didn't help.

Have you tried closing and restarting your computer and restarting Lightroom Classic?

My suggestion is to once you start Lightroom Classic, disable the GPU: Preferences -> Performance -> Use Graphics Processor = Off.

If that doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall Lightroom Classic through the Adobe Creative Cloud app. Also check with the maker of your GPU that the drivers are up to date.

Preview images do not appear in grid or loop view. The grid does change according to the selection made in the menu. The box where the image should appear contains information about the image (metadata)

Is it possible that Lightroom Classic is still building the previews? Look at the very top left to see if a previews process is running.

Are you talking about what you see in the center area? You need to have a folder of images selected or near the top of the left hand side click on All Photographs in the Catalog Panel. Do you see images in Grid or Loupe view in the center of the Lightroom Classic screen?
