Windows 10: Preview zoom PDF documents in folder does not work

Good afternoon all,Following an unfortunate event from a few weeks ago I am in a position to not be able to use the old zoom within the preview side of a folder. I am browsing hundreds of PDF's every day and without that tool my efficiency has dropped a lot.I am suspecting this is due to a Windows update, but I am not sure.

Preview PDF's not working

In Windows 10 PDF files will not show a preview in the preview pane.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe DC and Adobe 11, I have also reset preferences on multiple occasions.
I have done a clean install of Windows 10.
I have also set Edge as the preferred program to view PDFs without Adobe being installed
For each of the above options the preview pane works for a short time and then reverts to not working, this problem only presents with PDFs, other documents such as images and Word documents will preview.
Please help, thanks

pdf doesn't preview in Windows 10 preview pane

The preview pane in File Explorer of Windows 10 does not let me preview office nor pdf documents anymore. It only shows a little icon image and doesn't allow me to zoom in like it has done before. Is there a way
to get the preview pane to let me preview all documents again?
