I have many saved pictures and other items in a main folder containing many sub-folders of grouped items by subject.

Occasionally some of these images do not show and are replaced by a no-image sign. Often a whole folder's images do not show,

whilst other folders are OK, or a mixture of some-do and some-don't.

This has just happened again. After going through a number of settings, a short look on the web told me to clear the Thumbnail cache as we do the Browser cache to cure minor problems. This I did and my pictures immediately came back.

Clearing Thumbnail cache -

1. Open File Explorer

2. Scroll down the left column until you come to WINDOWS ©

3. Right click on WINDOWS ©, select Properties, click DISC CLEAN-UP - see my left hand image.

4 Wait until it calculates what to clean-up, then uncheck everything in the table except Thumbnails - see my right hand image.

5. Click Clean up system files

6. All done, Thumbnail cache is now deleted and in my case, all pictures and images are now restored.

I am unsure if the action would help, but I had some strange icon-autochange problems on one or two older computers. Shutting down, or shut-down&restart cleared up the problem and the icons again appeared normally. The problem was not affecting files as best I remember - just affecting the file and applications ICONS.

Try Recuva from Piriform/CCleaner.
The Free version is all you need to recover files. (I recently used it and sucessfully recovered over a thousand images from a drive that had crashed).

The paid for options use exactly the same recovery as the free version so it's not worth paying for the extra support option. (You can get support for Recuva for free on the CCleaner forum).

https://www.ccleaner.com/recuva/download

One thing to note - If your drive is a SSD then you have very little chance of recovering deleted files from a SSD.
They work differently from HDDs.

Of course, you can recover your lost photos from your Toshiba. All you need is a recovery tool like Stellar Photo Recovery or Recoverit. These are some of the powerful recovery tools which can recover even the formatted photos from any storage devices.
