Preview pane doesn't work in Windows 10

Hi RuthZekowski,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

1. Are you facing issue with all your files or any particular files?
   
2. Which version of Windows you are using?
   
3. Since when are you facing this issue?
   

The Preview pane shows the contents of certain files selected in File Explorer. For images, it is a thumbnail preview.

If you are unable to preview in File explorer, I suggest you to try the below steps.

1. Open a new File Explorer window and click the View tab from the ribbon toolbar.
   
2. Click Options, and then click Change folder and search options to open Folder Options dialog.
   
3. Check the Show preview handlers in preview pane box, and click/tap on OK.​
   
   
   

Please reply for all the required information to help you further.



Hope it helps.

 

Preview pane not working

I have a problem with "show preview handlers in preview pane". I am sure that I have already checked that. However, the preview pane is still not available. When I check the folder option again, the "show preview
handlers in preview pane" remain unchecked. I do this so many times but it's always like that.

Please anybody help me fix this problem I couldn't find solution to this anywhere.
