Windows 10: Hide document thumbnails and show image thumbnails

(1) Show icons, which makes it impossible to view previews of your image files.
(2) Show thumbnails, which mean that the document files (docx, csv, txt) are also displayed as thumbnails. This makes the desktop look cluttered (in my opinion) and wrecks the user experience.
Is it possible to display the standard icons for certain file types (document files) and previews for image and video files?
Alternatively, is it possible to show icons in certain folders and thumbnails in image folders?
I am sure that I am not the only frustrated Windows 10 user who feels this way. Help appreciated.
