Windows 10: Windows Explorer preview pane on Portrait Monitor

Hi,When the monitor is in portrait mode, is it possible to move the preview pane to the bottom of the screen? A file preview cannot be made large enough on a portrait display, therefore I'm wondering whether there is a setting that will move it to the bottom of the screen rather than to the side.

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:

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?

 

Windows Explorer Preview Pane on External Monitor for PDF preview

Hi

I have a Surface book that has stopped displaying the PDF preview in explorer on my external monitor since the last Windows Update (Build 17134.112) in May 2018.

This is really bothering me as I use it all the time and I even run workshops demonstrating the preview pane via a Data projector so I need to fix this ASAP please.

When I preview a PDF from Windows explorer on my Surface main display the preview fills up the whole left pane but when it is on an external monitor it looks like this: (Screenshot below) - See it only fills up the top left quarter of the preview pane.





I have tried:

• re-installing Adobe reader DC,
• clearing my File explorer history,
• ticking/unticking "Show preview handlers in preview pane",
• changing display resolutions in Windows Display settings,
• have even done SFC /Scannow & repair,
• manually updated the driver for Intel(R) HD Graphics 520
• deleted/reset the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Modules\GlobalSettings\Sizer

All to no solution!!

If I switch my external monitor to be my my Main Display in Windows Display settings it fixes the problem on my External monitor but then it is a problem on my Surface display.

Please can someone help me!! I have lost days trying to fix this.
