Updated Acrobat Reader yesterday and Windows explorer preview panel is no longer working

    I used the value from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PreviewHandlers\\Microsoft PDF Previewer instead and it is working for me.


    This solution has worked to me! I hope everybody tries it and fix the problem with this simple solution:

    1. In Regedit go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PreviewHandlers
    2. Copy the Value Name for the Previewer that you want to use - in this case, "Adobe PDF Preview" whose Value Name is {3A84F9C2-6164-485C-A7D9-4B27F8AC009E}
    3. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf\shellex\{8895b1c6-b41f-4c1c-a562-0d564250836f}
    4. Change the Default to the Value Name you copied in Step 2 (3A84F9C2-6164-485C-A7D9-4B27F8AC009E).

    No need to reboot the PC 

     

    PS: I did it on my WINDOWS 11. Perhaps you might restart your pc in order to work properly.

    Same here, except mine has not worked for a few months and it is very inconvenient for what I do at work.  Several of our IT people have troubleshot it and it still does not work.  They did say that there were several on line with the same problem and it is an Adobe update issue.

    Hey

    We apologize for the delay in response.

    If we understand it correctly, you are referring to the thumbnail preview of PDFs in windows explorer? If yes, then you might need to recheck the preferences settings of Adobe Reader which might got changed after installing update.

    • Open Acrobat DC or Acrobat Reader DC. On the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    • In the Preferences dialog box, choose General in the Categories list, and then select the Enable PDF thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer check box.

    Enable PDF thumbnail previews

    • Click OK.
    • Wait for a few seconds while Acrobat DC is configured to show thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
