Quick Preview not working on Mac OS Monterey

Hit spacebar to quickly preview photos, videos, pdfs etc was one of the best things which macOS provides. Recently when I switched to Macbook Pro with M1 Pro chip, I am unable to get a complete preview. It opens a thumbnail view.


Apple tech support suggested a safe boot, which solves the problem instantaneously but it reverts back in no time. Another quick hack was to do a relaunch of finder, but again it reverts back to showing thumbnails in sometime.


Is there any hack? Is Apple doing anything about it?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.3

But that has already been suggested.


Download the Application Etrecheck directly from a well Respected ASC Contributor. And Safe to use.


The application is free or paid from added features. 


Run the application with Full Disc Access ( Security & Privacy - Full Disc Access ).



It will take a Snap Shot -  both the hardware and software.
