I've got a couple of issues with the preview pane. First one has been there since win10 came out, the other only now after most recent upgrade.

Issue 1 When previewing a music file, you would get an image of the cd cover or whatever... when I change the track, the image doesn't change. I have to close explorer and reopen. The correct image shows when I use Details Pane.

Issue 2 Sometimes, and only sometimes, I cant figure out what makes it happen, the preview pane jumps off the explorer window and sits on its own on the left of the screen (still with the wrong image, I might add) and it acts as a 'pop-over' It sits above everything else

If anyone knows how to fix, id appreciate it.

Bill Gates gets very busy nowadays counting his Billions.
There are plenty of Windows help forums.
Just type in the problem, for example;

w10 preview pane wrong image

Brought up this;

My preview pane is showing outside of my folder. - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-other_settings/my-preview-pane-is-showing-outside-of-my-folder/e10435c9-6d32-4a71-8ecb-770e810dc677?auth=1

I looked at that link, is exactly the same problem, but theres no solution. I guess its just one of those glitches.
 
its just the normal windows self destruct corrupted file mode over time

forget trying to fix it unless you know windows and every file inside out even if you do by the time you fix there be 2 new versions of windows out

solution put up with to it gets bad enough to warrant a reinstall
or do regular full back ups of windows partion so can roll it back a bit

or learn linux and use that as the disk operating system in stable unlike windows crap


Ill echo that statement any time Ive been using linux since 1997
