Folder Large thumbnail preview Icon upside down?! help!

Hi I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 and some folders I have when I click for the Large thumbnail preview (Ctrl+Shift+2) The folder icon look like if was upside down, maybe this is the way it's intended, I don't know :b.
I'll leave some screenshot so you guys can see what I mean.

No solution but some thoughts:

Do you have a System Restore point that might take you back to before this happened (but maybe not if that means you need to upgrade again)?

Has something asserted itself as a default for these icons?

Is everything working okay but just looks different? (in which case maybe stick with it and enjoy being different from the rest of us :D)

Maybe give it a little time and see if it reverts to normal on its own.

Hope someone can give you some idea on how to get it sorted.

Agreed.

And since the OP hasn't been back for a while, maybe they agree too.
