I have the same problem when copying images from one note to another in the Windows/Mac desktop app. After so many years using Evernote (since 2009), the UI/functions friction is still there in basic things as copy/pasting stuff. And this case in the Windows app, shows a few of them. I'm gonna be detailed so the poor UX can be exposed properly. I was pasting images into a table from Windows screenshots and first, I encountered the outdated 200MB limit in a note. Then, after searching for a solution for the poor MB cap, including another paid plan with a higher limit, I found none. So I had to create a new note, and cut parts of the original note into it only to encounter the thumbnail render problem. If I double clicked the images, they'd open normally in Windows Photo, but Evernote couldn't display the thumbnail or preview them. BTW, this render problem is very old and also appears randomly when opening old notes. So I tried to undo the operation to keep the original note as it was, and of course, encountered the limited undo function in Evernote, which doesn't undo operations between notes (and sometimes operations in the same note). To the web again searching for solutions to the render problem. No solution, Evernote Desktop app users on Windows and Mac had the same problem. Experimenting, I tried drag n' droping one of the attached images from the table in the new note into the desktop, and back into it, and the problem was still there. Then I tried drag n' droping the image from the desktop but this time into a blank new note, and it rendered fine. So, if you can copy it back into the note and it doesn't render, but then you copy it into a blank note and it does, it would seem the problem is in Evernote Desktop app. So, now I'm at the point where I have to drag and drop or download multiple attachments into the desktop in order to attach them into this new blank note. Of course, there's no way to select multiple attachments from a note and download or drag n' drop them into the desktop, so I had to do this for each attachment, and because all the unrendered images have the same "image.png" name, I had to cope with the "Replace or skip files" Windows dialog and drag back into Evernote every time (14 times to be exact). At the end, all of this took 30 minutes, for what was at the begining a basic screenshot paste into a note operation, encountering friction on the outdated 200 MB cap, no paid plan with a higher limit solution, a recurrent thumbnail render problem, a limited undo function, no way to select/download multiple attachments at the same time, and multiple copy dialogs because the non unique naming of the unrendered attachments. It seems a perfect example of how multiple unpolished basic functions, which by their own merit wouldn't be prioritized to get fixed, create conjointly a really bad and unreasonable UX in 2023. I'm pretty sure a better job can be done.

I have this problem on table texts, too. It only affects tables in older notes and in dark mode, even if I create a new table on them. For me the solution has been to copy the table and paste it in a new note; somehow it gets fixed.
