GetThumbnailAsync failing intermittently

Question

Hi,
As I can't get the associated application for a filetype, see:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/225d7822-a429-4816-b4d5-408daf3db5ac/get-icon-of-associated-application?forum=winappswithnativecode
I'm using getThumbnailAsync(ThumbnailMode::SingleItem, 100) but this fails intermittently on different files with a HRESULT of E_PENDING.  Is there any way I can avoid this? If not what are my options, reissuing the call etc.
Thanks for the help

Hi,
What's meaning about fails intermittently on different files with a HRESULT of E_PENDING? Do you meand when you use getThumbnailAsync(ThumbnailMode::SingleItem, 100) on the same type of files, the thumbnails are different. If so, there is no wany to handle
that.  For music file, if the file has album art, the thumbnail is the album art and uses the original aspect ratio of the file. Otherwise, the thumbnail is just an icon. You can see the link to get more information:
