Low Photo Quality

When I am viewing my photos in the library and zoom in the quality is really low and pixelated. I shoot in raw on the Sony a6400 so I highly doubt it's not the camera. when I look at the photos in windows photo viewer the quality is fine, but in lightroom it seems to be terrible. I'm not sure if this is a bug or just user error 

Help would be great. Thanks

Lightroom, or Lightroom Classic? What version NUMBER? (We need the version NUMBER and not words like "latest" or "up-to-date")

 

Zoom in to what magnification/zoom ratio? What size in pixels is the image according to LrC? (Do not tell me megabytes). Are you using Smart Previews?

 

Can you show us a screen capture of the entire Lightroom Classic screen showing this terrible image quality? Use the "Insert Photos" icon; do not attach files.

Are you using embedded previews, and are the actual photos in the LrC catalog listed as missing?

 

Oh, and is this LrC v 13.0.1 or way back
