Windows 10: No preview for WordPerfect docs in File Explorer

Since purchasing new computer (Intel NUC 10) and installing WordPerfect X7 (17.0.0.366), I can no longer view .wpd documents in the preview pane of File Explorer. I have checked all the appropriate settings in Word Perfect that allow .wpd docs to be viewed in Windows Explorer, and on my previous computer, (Dell XPS with Windows 10 installed over Windows 7), the preview pane worked fine for viewing .wpd docs.

I can see the WordPerfect icons in my file tree, but not the preview of the document itself.

I have checked to make sure the iFilter is installed.

My Windows 10 build is 19042.746.
