Windows 10: Removing Preview Pane from open file screen???

HiOK so I know how to remove the preview pane from file explorer but how do I remove it from the OPEN FILE window. Like lets say I go into a program and select open file I then get the file explorer type window that pops open for me to find my file and in some cases I get the preview pane on the right but I see no way to remove it from this screen as there is no VIEW tab and none of the drop down menus seem to control this pane at all.So how do I remove the preview pain from the open files screen??Thanks!

Preview pane not functional / causing system issues

Hi,

We can see here that you're having an issue with using the preview pane for File Explorer. Since using the preview pane affects the CPU usage when trying to view Office files, we could suggest that you changed your File Explorer View setting into the Navigation
pane by performing the following steps:

• Open File Explorer.
• Click on the View tab.
• Select Preview pane to remove it from being highlighted.

Once done, try to open files using Office apps and check if this helps your Surface Pro 4 works fine.

We look forward to your reply.

 

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?
