Finder preview not working

I bought a new Macbook M1 Pro and the Finder preview is not working. I can't preview the images within the Finder by clicking the spacebar. HELP!

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.3

Try shutting down the Mac and reboot to test


Log out, sleep, wake, restart or shut down your Mac

Shut down or restart your Mac - Apple Support


If no insight or resolve try a SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support

to sort anomalies. Log in and test, reboot as normal and test.
