That's because in the installer you're asked if you want to associate certain filetypes with Cura. SO if you first install VokelMaker, the installer probably asks you the same. So you first associate STL with VokelMaker. If you then install cura (and don't change the defaults) you tell windows to associate STL with Cura.

If you change the view of that folder with the Cura file to "Large Icons" you should get the thumbnail images back. They can take a while to load though.
Windows 10 has the Preview sidebar on the right and there are two buttons at the bottom that toggle the view. When you select a file the preview should come up.
Thanks for the advise everyone. The Papas Best STL Thumbnails.msi suggested by DivingDuck worked the best. In my case with VokelMaker, I did not install that before Cura, only after once I saw I could not see the icons.
Thanks again all!

I don't know about vokelmaker. One cause for such problems are using more than one tool for showing a thumbnail/icon for a dedicated file extension. An other can be an old thumbnail cache file where those tools save a thumbnail.
I use a thumbnail tool called Papa’s Best STL Thumbnails. It is reliable, small, fast and, what is for me most important, works also with file manager tools like Total Commander.
