    Why am I offered preview version updates?


    Since 2 months or so, I am getting offered "preview version" updates on Windows Update. Like now there is "KB4576947 Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework ... ".
    I am not on Windows Insider or whatever, so why am I getting preview updates instead of finished updates? Is this a new way of MS to let their users test updates since lately there are so many screw ups?

    :)

    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.

    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.

    Why am I offered preview version updates?

    Last 3 Preview Versions Failed to Install

    The last three (Fast) preview versions of Windows 10 failed to install

    • 17063.1000 (rs_prerelease) (9)
    • 17074.1002 (rs_prerelease_flt) (2)
    • 17083.1000 (rs_prerelease) (4)
    All failed with an error 0x80004005.

    I've tried various "cleaning" solutions suggested in other posts and nothing works. My system is a Dell Inspiron 5675 with an AMD Ryzen 7 1800x processor.
