Quicklook isn't working after Monterey update

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.

• Hi, I had this problem too but I solved it by doing the following:
Open the Activity monitor
• Search for "quick"
• The Finder icon and name should pop up as a drop-down menu
• Open it
• Force quit the element "QuickLookUIService (Finder)" inside
Then you should be able to use quicklook feature like before!

Yes, I did, but it is a temporary solution, after a while quicklook stops working.
