Hello everyone,

I can no longer open Word and PDF files directly, I have a preview on the right that wastes my time. It started with PDF files and now it's Word.

If you can help me, thank you in advance.

    Hello,

    by any chance, wouldn't that be the file explorer preview?

      Hello,

      Yes, that’s indeed the Windows 11 File Explorer preview. I have it disabled on my PC.

        Hello,

        So after going off-topic in <1> you elaborate in <3> the explanation in <2> which is the correct one?

        To address the "issue," this overview depends not on one but on two parameters: in the three little dots, options, display, check "show preview handlers..." but also, since Windows is full of pitfalls, to choose in View Preview pane instead of Details pane even though it is not possible to choose either (but in the first case, if you click on the button, you actually get a summary of a number of file properties instead of details).
