I think this is more a browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox) deal than a operating system (XP Windows 7 Windows 10) issue but I could be wrong. My other computer is XP for record keeping but is isolated off of the Internet.

The modern updated browsers are pushing the https extension to try and make things more secure across the web. 

What version of Internet Explorer are you running ? Has it been updated ? I don't know much about Internet Explorer anymore I stopped using it a long time ago and went to Mozilla Firefox.

I have seen this issue as well on other forums even with the latest version of Mozilla. Seems if I mouse clicked on the blank image box. (Not sure if it was a right or left mouse click) I had the option to open the missing image ? Then when I used the page back button the image appeared on the page as it was supposed to.
