Explorer File Preview

Explorer preview not working.

Have searched internet on possible fixes.

Windows 10 Pro OS build 19041.450

Explorer->General->Open File Explorer set to this PC

Explorer->View->Files and Folders->Show preview handlers in preview pane checked.

Registry setting added.

Still no previews available. This used to work before updates.

Thanks for any help.
