    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?

    Video in the preview pane

    Hi,

    To enable the Preview pane, open File Explorer and follow these steps:


    • In the File Explorer window, click the View
      tab.

    • In the Panes section, click the Preview Pane button. The Preview pane is added to the right side of the File Explorer window.

    • Select several files one by one to preview their contents. You can preview their contents if they are text, images, or videos.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    is there any way to show a preview of a video in windows 10 thumbnails?

    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.
