Start 11 V2 - keeps using thumbnails of PDFs?

I pinned some PDFs to my menu.  I don't want start 11 to use the PDF's thumbnail. I want it to use the default icon.  How can I do this?  I have turned on the "Always use icons..." in Explorer's Options.

I have Folder Options>Always show icons never thumbnails unchecked

I pinned a pdf file to my Start11v2 (Windows 10 Style) Menu which was showing the thumbnail in the original location, and it displays as a generic pdf icon on my start menu.

So, I don't think it has anything to do with the Folder Options setting.

Not sure why this is happening to you, unless you had previously assigned custom icons to these files.
