    File Explorer Preview Went Away........


    New PC.

    File Explorer WAS working, then quit.

    Windows 10 Pro.

    Deleted One Drive. Using DropBox instead.

    Deleted Microsoft Office suite. Using LibraOffice instead.

    Ticked / tried every Preview Option in the ribbon, nothing.

    Can’t preveiw anything anymore, (doc, docx, pdf, images, etc).


    Any good advice on this?

    :)
