    Blank Windows 11 Preview Pane


    My Windows 11 Preview Pane is blank after a Windows 11 update. It does not even display "No preview pane available". It is totally blank. It only display jpg, ico and bmp files in the preview pane. It doesn't display Microsoft Office and pdf files. I have spent over a month googling and tried every suggestions that were posted in Google, Youtube and answers.microsoft.com, not one of the suggestions work. However when I use XYPlorer Free Edition, all the files are displayed in the XYPlorer's preview pane. The only thing that I have not done is to reinstall Windows 11 and I would not want to go

    :)

    Windows 7 Preview Pane

    I use the preview pane quite often so I can watch videos without having to launch an application to play them. I do this with mostly with tutorials. Most of the tutorials were in quicktime format; quicktime takes a significant amount of time to open on my system, so I used format factory to change them into MP4's (they will play in the preview pane). Just out of boredom, I installed a new convert, called CoverterLite. Now every single video that I converted causes WMP to crash even inside the preview pane. If I were to change my default media player would that affect to preview pane as well? Or does it require so registry editing?

    Video in the preview pane

    Aileen,

    Thank you so much for your reply.

    What I really need to know is how get the video to play in the preview pane. Prior to Windows 10, this worked wonderfully and was an asset. Now, it requires making changes to the Windows registry - not recommended due to the enormous amount of issues with
    Windows 10.

    Any other suggestions?
