Hello, yesterday I installed Monterey on my Air M1, but quicklook isn't working after the update.
I have to kill the process several times a day in Activity Monitor.
Is there any way to fix this?
MacBook Air (2020 or later)
Relaunching the Finder solved this for me as well. Hold down the option key and the control key, then click on the Finder icon in the dock, and then choose Relaunch. (I'm on an M1 Pro 14" MacBook Pro running Monterey 12.0.1.

Thanks bro, it worked for my MacBook Air M1. Earlier I used to restart my Mac, now this method is helping me alot

Try this, it worked for me https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
I was having this problem with .pages files in particular. I noticed that it was only happening with older .pages files. If you open these .pages files and press the spacebar you will get dialogue box asking you if you want to upgrade the file. If you allow the file to upgrade it will then work with quicklook.
I tried this method and work.
go teminal
qlmanage -r cache
and reboot
I see. Try creating a new user account, log into it and see if you still have a problem.
I had the same problem but doing a force quit on Finder and then reopening it sorted the problem out for me.
After wading through all of dialabrain's responses, I got to the ones from people who actually understood the problem and knew how to fix it. Thanks! Relaunching Finder works.
It worked for me after relaunching finder
Ok, look what I did (So far solved). I was reading looking for some solution and I found this:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
There is a part that says: “It also does a basic check of your startup disk, similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility. And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and the kernel cache, which are automatically created again as needed. "
So I gave it a try and after restart the problem was solved.
However I reinstalled the cleanmymac just to test if it was the problem, but the problem with the quicklook did not reappear.
I'm NOT a fan of cleanmymac, understanding what you say I'm not going to use it again, but since I have an MBA, my main disk is low on space, so I ask you if there is a disk monitor or something similar, or do you recommend don't install anything additional and manually view it in “About this Mac”?
By the way, excuse my English, I do the best I can.
I had this same problem - I'm on an M1 iMac
Selected a file, pressed Space Bar to launch Quick look and all I got was a thumbnail.
So I just force quit 'Finder' and ...Bingo! Full sized preview in Quick Look
Hope that helps some of you
Hi all frustrated quicklook users :-). Here is a link to a post which worked for me on my iMac late 2017 and my MacBookPro M1 Max. Hope this will also work for you too:
I have not Quicklook problems for now and all files are working fine.

Did you try creating a new user?
Finally for me, the problem was solved with the Monterey 12.1 update.
