I also use MikTeX and can't get it to work. I tried to insert the files
"ima ge.png" and "ima%ge.png". But no matter if I use
\includegraphics{"F:/Download/ima ge.png"}
or
\includegraphics{F:/Download/ima\string%ge.png}
or
\includegraphics{F:/Download/ima\string% ge.png}
it doesn't work.
If one uses quotes, one mustn't declare the file extension, so only
\includegraphics{"F:/Download/ima ge"}
will work. We have to consider this behaviour.
If you find a solution for "ima%ge.png", please let me know.
