We’ve seen the “No preview available” situations before, caused by the incorrect or missing preview handler registration for a file type. Here is a similar problem: the preview pane is empty, showing just the white space for all file types except images.
However, the image file types may preview correctly. The above issue happens due to a missing Preview Handler Surrogate Host registration.
Solution
To resolve the issue, create a reg file from this code. Just put this code in a notepad file and save it with a .reg extension. There is no need to reboot Windows.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\{6d2b5079-2f0b-48dd-ab7f-97cec514d30b}]
