    File Explorer Preview Pane Zoom Function


    The Preview Pane for File Explorer recently had a new look, and I'm missing the zoom function I relied on heavily in the past. The navigation icons up arrow, down arrow, full width vs zoom option are much less helpful, and zooming in on a PDF within the preview pane is now impossible. The zoom functionality of the preview pane was a huge time saver for me not having to open every PDF to see details was fantastic, and now it's gone. Is there any way to get it back?

    :)

    preview/details pane in explorer

    Hi,

    Setting the Preview pane to show or hide in File Explorer will apply to all folders. If you wish to hide the Preview pane in File Explorer, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

    • Open File Explorer.
    • Tap on View tab.
    • Click Preview Pane to view/hide it.

    We would appreciate it if you could get back to us and provide us your feedback.

    Preview pane not functional / causing system issues

    Hi,

    We can see here that you're having an issue with using the preview pane for File Explorer. Since using the preview pane affects the CPU usage when trying to view Office files, we could suggest that you changed your File Explorer View setting into the Navigation
    pane by performing the following steps:

    • Open File Explorer.
    • Click on the View tab.
    • Select Preview pane to remove it from being highlighted.

    Once done, try to open files using Office apps and check if this helps your Surface Pro 4 works fine.

    We look forward to your reply.
