First, if you enabled the option register as shell extension, disable it by opening up the EP properties application, go to File Explorer, and untick Register as shell extension.

Hello pyrates999,
thank you for your fast reply. That shell extension was disabled, but i still enable it and then disable it again.
Restart my PC
and now it's ok....but in general the shell extension was disabled. Very strange.

Hi, pyrates999
i update my first post.
Today when i turn on my PC again i got the same issue. I don't turn off my PC i just hibernate it, to mention that also.
After turning it on i noticed the same issue, and i decided to used the Restart File explorer (*) button from the properties EP, which fix the problem, the preview start to working again normally....but why is happening in general ? I will make a short video if it's required next time when it happen.

You haven't updated the following:

• 3rd party tweak software installed - this is for listing any third party software that modified the user interface of windows as not all third party software is compatible with EP
• Expected outcome - this is for what you expect to happen
• Actual outcome - this is what you're actually experiencing

[hitreca91]

Done. I've add them.
Still i have the problem. And for now after restart with Restart File explorer (*) button from the properties EP. It's start to working normally. But this it temporary solution. Do you want to make some video or to provide some additional details which can help resolving the issue ?
