No pdf preview in Windows 10 Explorer anymore

[peters26128322]

Since a bit more than a week, suddenly in Windows 10 Explorer preview, pdf's don't show up anymore.

What can I do to get them displayed again?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Peters,

We're sorry for the trouble you had with PDF preview, please check for any pending updates of Adobe Reader from help>check for updates, reboot the machine after updating Adobe Reader.

Navigate to Adobe Reader's Preferences and disable the Protected mode from Edit>Preferences>Security(Enhanced).

Note: Disabling the Protected mode is only for testing purpose, please enable it back.

If the issue still persists, please use Acrobat cleaner tool to remove Adobe Reader Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

I just did the Help/Repair Acrobat Installation, and it worked, I'm going to update now.

Thank you ever so much, Anand! The repair worked and my previews are now working again.

Thank you so much! Now, if I can only get my Windows 10 to open PDFs with my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, I'll really be happy; But for now, preview works and I am thrilled! Thanks again.
