Windows 10: Windows 10 file explorer, PDF's preview showing a index file directory, instead of preview

Hello all, i recently encountered an issue with one network folder. With the preview pane activated, PDF files are showing a index directory instead of the file. Not sure how to find help. I have already restarted, restored defaults, and reinstalled adobe. It only happens with this one folder and all subfolders.

File explorer in windows 10 does not preview pdf documents

I have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. I followed all the instructions listed at https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...howing-in-windows-10-file/2d46bdd4-e463-421d- bd1c-6811b6dc9b58 and yet there is no pdf
preview in the file explorer. In the past I had a preview of pdf files in the file explorer. So I ask, is it because of the latest windows updates, I do not have a preview of pdf files now?

PDF Previews Not Showing In Windows 10 File Explorer

I wanted my Window 10 File Explorer to display .pdf file previews like my Windows 7 so I started researching and came up with several different solutions, none of which worked for me.



Prime among the solutions was Option 1:



1. Open file explorer

2. Click view on the top of the file explorer.

3. Select preview pane option and see if it helps.



And Option 2:

• Open the reader,
• Go to Edit
• Then Preferences
• Go to General Tab
• And check "enable PDF thumbnail previews"

Even after using Option 2, it still didn’t work but then after going to Help > Repair Installation in Acrobat Reader DC it works just fine.
