Unfortunately I do not have Paint on my PC- or I didn't find it in the Startmenü. And also I couldn't choose it in the Windows settings. I have paint.net, but not from Microsoft Store.

Okay, I'll try with the reset all. >>okay, in the "open with"-dialog now the images are all shown :D
But: In the XYplorer view -Miniatur #2 (64x64)- the Musicbee.ico is still looking like empty- and the other .ico-files, which where looking the same are also still looking empty (but are not empty). And the .ico-files, which were showing the right picture, are also still showing the right picture.

If you open that icon in the preview panel (Ctrl+4), are all the sizes shown with the image, or is say the 64x64 size shown blank?

Upload a problematic ico if you can, so it can be tested. Also try:

Yes, in the preview panel the image-size is shown.
Two examples with different sizes are uploaded, äh I wanted to upload them, but ico is not allowed here...

Yeah those icons are messed up the way they are created, I made a quick fix of them, you may want to do it yourself though to try and get a higher quality.

Öhhhh, danke :-)) In usage they are all shown so mini-small- so that the quality doesn't really matter ;-)
But, ähm, what are you talking about??
What did I wrong in creation?? All of them were .png before, I opened them with Gimp and exported them to ico. And it was always surprising: Some of them were shown correct and some not. What do I have to do different?

The main issue is probably the non standard icon dimensions,
