1.9.0 - animated WEBP not working when opened from Windows

See attached.
Opening this image from Windows Explorer just shows a checkerboard pattern in XnView Viewer.
However, if I open from XnView Browser then the image displays as expected - i.e. an animated WEBP.

I've just wiped my XnView install and reinstalled. It now works OK.
I'll now start adding back my customisations and see if I can identify which of them caused the issue (plus the other tickets I raised today).
Thanks.

I changed a few minor settings on my fresh install and now the same problem occurs - I only see a checkerboard for that WEBP animated image.
Settings are the same as here -

It's due to Color Management.
If I select `sRGB` as the option for `RGB Profile used when embedded...` then I see checkerboard. Select `None` and the WEBP displays as expected.
