Windows 10: Windows 10 Explorer preview pane will not show jpg files

My Windows 10 Explorer preview pane will show other formats such as PDF and XLSX, but not JPG.


In File Explorer Options:

Display file icon on thumbnails

Show preview handlers in preview pane, are both checked.


Further,

Always show icons, never thumbnails

Always show menu, are both unchecked.


I appreciate any help on this.

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.
