I don't know how most CAD files are affected, but as far as in my case *.ipt and *.iam files don't show working thumbnails.
I had been running 1.5.0.1383a, and even though I had "Check for updates on startup" checked, it didn't announce that an update was available until yesterday for some reason. Once I installed the latest version the thumbnails stopped working, and I made sure that Everything was not running as administrator.
Going back through the updates, I found that 1.5.0.1391a was the last version that had working thumbnails for those file types.
