This happens because Windows will try to create thumbnails for the media by default which are in the Downloads folder even if none of them are media files. Sometimes Windows automatically sets it to “Pictures” even though not all the files are pictures. But in case of a downloads folder there are random files of all types. When we make a folder and add items in it, depending upon the type of items in that folder Windows automatically sets its type to pictures, media, music etc.
