  1. Image Preview not working.


    So I've been having an issue for a while now, and none of my image files will preview. The Icons are just the generic jpg icon, so I can't just make the icons bigger and look either. PDFs, .ai, .eps, those all preview just fine. Only image files; jpgs, pngs, tiffs, none of them will preview.

    I've tried a bunch of different things from around the web. Changing the setting, turning everything off and back on again, disc clean up, resetting all the settings, clearing thumbnails, and i'm sure more I can't remember off the top of my head. Nothing seems to be working, and as a graphic designer with folders full of "element1.jpg, element2.jpg, element3.jpg, element4.jpg" it makes it really hard to find things.

    Anyone have an suggestions that might help fix this??

    Preview pane doesn't work in Windows 10

    Hi RuthZekowski,

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    1. Are you facing issue with all your files or any particular files?
    2. Which version of Windows you are using?
    3. Since when are you facing this issue?

    The Preview pane shows the contents of certain files selected in File Explorer. For images, it is a thumbnail preview.

    If you are unable to preview in File explorer, I suggest you to try the below steps.

    1. Open a new File Explorer window and click the View tab from the ribbon toolbar.
    2. Click Options, and then click Change folder and search options to open Folder Options dialog.
    3. Check the Show preview handlers in preview pane box, and click/tap on OK.​





    Please reply for all the required information to help you further.



    Hope it helps.

    Preview pane is not available while viewing the pictures

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.


    To assist you better, I would like to know the file format of the image that you would like to see in preview pane.

    If the preview pane doesn’t appear, I suggest you to follow the steps and check if that helps to resolve the issue.


    • Open the folder where the images are located.

    • Click on View option at the top and choose
      Preview pane.

    • Now you will be able to see the images on the Preview pane.
