No print preview in file explorer

In file explorer, when I right click on a jpeg/bmp and click on print it will bring up a window that will show a print preview as well as options to select A4/A3/A5, Landscape an so forth. My problem is it does noes show you the jpeg/bmp/preview and if you
continue to print it comes out clear at the printer.

Windows 10 preview pane does not show image previews

I have file explorer open, preview pane is selected. No matter what layout I choose the image file does not show in the preview pane. Large icons, list, it does not show either way.

Any thoughts and ideas?
