Trying to enable these thumbnail previews on a different PC
maybe you had the windows 3D-Viewer pre installed on your PC. If you change tje viewer to your default program to open .stl s it will show a preview as the icon. The picture you uploaded however looks alot like stl-thumb

File explorer not responding in Cura

Can not load files
Ultimaker published a help article about it here: https://support.ultimaker.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402996140946-Ultimaker-Cura-crashes-when-opening-any-file . It helps get rid of the thumbnail generator from Chitubox (while allowing you to keep the rest). I'm using this STL thumbnail generator instead, which works well: https://github.com/unlimitedbacon/stl-thumb

PSA: Try manifold and report bugs!
Short edges (e.g. due to very high $fn) can cause bug in the triangulator, there is a fix for this but is not ready for merging. (https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/4679)
