    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.

    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?

    I cannot rename files while preview pane is on

    Unable to rename the files with Preview pane option enabled in Windows 10.

    1. Yes, I'm able to rename the file if I do not use preview pane.

    2. I click on File Explorer that's pin on my task bar. When I start clicking on subfolders to get to the file and rename the path shows it's on "This PC". I'm renaming files that are in one of our servers. Not sure if that makes a difference.
