    Preview Pane Windows Explorer W10 Multi Monitor Problem


    I have 3 monitors. When I open Explorer in the middle default monitor and select preview pane I get the correct result for the display of a PDF Document.

    If I look at it on the left monitor it cuts of part of the preview - I have tried everything to fix it.

    On the right monitor there is nothing to see.


    Anyone got any ideas?

    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.

    Windows Explorer Preview Pane on External Monitor for PDF preview

    Hi

    I have a Surface book that has stopped displaying the PDF preview in explorer on my external monitor since the last Windows Update (Build 17134.112) in May 2018.

    This is really bothering me as I use it all the time and I even run workshops demonstrating the preview pane via a Data projector so I need to fix this ASAP please.

    When I preview a PDF from Windows explorer on my Surface main display the preview fills up the whole left pane but when it is on an external monitor it looks like this: (Screenshot below) - See it only fills up the top left quarter of the preview pane.


    Preview Pane Windows Explorer W10 Multi Monitor Problem e77aab16-f5fd-48e6-b2b7-63a96657b659?upload=true.jpg


    I have tried:

    • re-installing Adobe reader DC,
    • clearing my File explorer history,
    • ticking/unticking "Show preview handlers in preview pane",
    • changing display resolutions in Windows Display settings,
    • have even done SFC /Scannow & repair,
    • manually updated the driver for Intel(R) HD Graphics 520
    • deleted/reset the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Modules\GlobalSettings\Sizer
    All to no solution!!

    If I switch my external monitor to be my my Main Display in Windows Display settings it fixes the problem on my External monitor but then it is a problem on my Surface display.

    Please can someone help me!! I have lost days trying to fix this.
