Quick Look in finder only shows a small image

After installing MacOS Monterey Quick lock in finder just showing a small image. I often use space bar to have quick look at image but with macOS Monterey I only get a small image, the same size that I already have in finder. This is useless. I tried different modifiers and with Option I get an image that is a little bigger but not as big as before.


How do I get the old Quick Look function back?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Relaunching Finder fixed this issue for me without rebooting.

Press Option (⌥) while two-finger clicking (or right click, or control-option-click) on Finder in the Dock; select "Relaunch" and try Quick Look again.

Thank you, that is the right solution to restore Quick Look.
