Preview Pane Missing Microsoft
Some people may be able to get past this issue of not having a preview pane when you highlight a file. For all the others here is how to fix it.
When you enter into your documents or where ever you are trying to view files, get into folder options by clicking organize or something along those lines.
Under folder options chose: View, then under Files and Folders check or uncheck the box labeled ‘always show icons, never thumbnails’. Once the box is unchecked click ‘Apply’.
Click OK to exit out of the menu. If done correctly you should see a preview of the file or folder before you open it.
