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.

 

Preview pane (file explorer) not always working on OneDrive files

Having opened a .jpg or .mpg etc , look at 'recent files' in file explorer- the files appear in preview pane as expected- I have come across this problem on the six machines I have checked. To get the preview pane to work again either uncheck the 'files
on demand' in onedrive settings or (with care!!) 'Unlink' the onedrive in settings. All the local files will now show up as normal!! Sorry I can't be of more help.
