Photos showing up as the PSE icon

[itsajewelrything]

NEED HELP ASAP!  After I edit my photos and save them for the web, all the pics now shoe up as the Blue PSE icon instead of the actual pic.  So when I search a folder for one of the pics, all I see are those blue icons.  The file names I assigned to all the pics are there but I am unable to see the actual pic.  The pic will open up if I click on it but I don't want to have to click on each PSE icon to see the pic.  How do I fix this problem so I can see all of the actual pics when I open the folder to view them?

What operating system and version of photoshop elements are you using?

What file format are you saving as?

WIN 10

PSE 14

JPG

Can you give a sample of a file name you want to apply? 

For instance you can't have two '.' in the name like in 'photo.series.jpg'

When I locate a .jpg file, the files appear as the image I saved,  So when I need to look for a certain pic, I can easily find it.  But, for the last few weeks, the .jpg files have been showing up as a thumbnail of the PSE icon as pictured below.  This makes it very difficult when I'm looking in a folder full of .jpgs and all I see are the blue PSE icons.  When I click on any given PSE icon within one of my photo folders, it opens up just fine displaying the actual photo.  When I save a .jpg, how do I get the actual thumbnail of the actual pic to show up vs the PSE blue icon?  Is it some kind of glitch with the software or is it something I did? 

I have WINDOWS 10, am using PSE 14, and my pics are saved as jpgs or gifs.
