Preview for all Excel files in Explorer works again! Snappy and fast! 😀😁🕺

Thereafter check your Excel files preview in Explorer. It is likely unchecked and offers 'choose an app'.Ĭlick on it and you get options aside from looking in the Microsoft store: Excel and perhaps another app. file typesĪnd look for the entry ' MS – Excel Url:Excel Protocol' Scroll down to last entry at the bottom of all. Therein is a list 'file type and protocol associations'. There are all major apps, but not all are listed.Ĭlick on Excel and up comes a button 'manage'. Scroll all the way down there are three menus: In PC settings under >'apps' selecting >'default apps' No go, nothing worked in matters Excel files but everything was correct. I tried everything from registry keys to office repair to running the icacls string.

All probably happened after some of the many updates. Like many I had this problem that suddenly since several months my Excel spreadsheets would suddenly not show in Explorer preview and instead I received in the preview an error message ' this file can't be shown in preview'.
