    Win 11 File Explorer Preview Pane Inconsistent Behavior


    Upgraded from Win10 Pro to Win11 Pro ver 21H2 build 22000.438 recently. File Explorer Preview pane works fine for MS Office documents, PDF in all folders and subfolders. But not for the bmp, png files and inconsistent for JPG files.It works for some JPG files but not for other JPGs in the same subfolder. Curiously, some JPG-file's medium- and large-icons show the content properly but not in the Preview pane. For other files, default icon is shown but nothing in the Preview pane. Has anyone else seen this? Any workarounds??? ThanksPs: As noted by others, Win Explorer is slow. F11 trick usual

    :)

    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.

    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?
