Hello
I can't preview some files using Quicklook when browsing
neither opening or importing them (in InDesign or browsers, for example).
I used Onix, I deleted Quicklook preferences, I restarted Finder, I fixed permissions...
Nothing seems to fix this issue.
Suggestions?
Thanks
Howdy,
So you can't even (Quicklook) view a screenshot!
Good troubleshooting so far.
Next, I would also try a Safe Boot to see if that helps.
If not, test under a different user to isolate if it's a user issue or system issue.
Let us know what you find.

Last time I saw something akin to this it was a failing 3rd party App causing it.
We need to see what all is running, a report from this will not display any personal info...
EtreCheck is a FREE simple little diagnostic tool to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac. It will not display any personal info.
Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report if you capture the URL while there…
Whew, they've changed pastebin & made it harder, but after pasting in, click Create new paste button, then Embed button, then copy the URL...
<script src="https://pastebin.com/embed_js/KuvnghqA"></script>
The important part of the above is...

Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck. In a Reply before you click post, look for this to add longer texts...
Did you try Ivan54's suggestion of Safe Boot yet?
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes or more.
Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
Delete these files & restart...
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.adobe.ARM.***.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.adobe.ARM.***.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.virtualbox.vboxwebsrv.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.microsoft.update.agent.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.adobe.ccxprocess.plist
~ tilde indicates your home folder
Apple hid the Users' Library folders...
Method 1:
1 From the Finder, select the Go menu at top of the screen, and choose Go to Folder.
2 In the window that opens, enter ~/Library, and click Go.
Connecting the keyboard to the Mac Pro instead to the Display I can start in Safa Mode but no change, I still can't see file preview. I reinstalled High Sierra too (without to format), deleted the files you said... Nothing.
Yes, this is it.
I found this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252243004
it didn't solved the issue but now I know that file preview is visible in Spotlight
Thank you all. I formatted the Mac, none of the suggested methods solved the problem, sorry.
Hi BDAqua, this is the report. Thanks
Hi ivan54, I tried using a new user, same issue.
Hi, I don't know why but I can't start the mac in safe mode, it starts in normal mode only.
Are you using a Wireless Keyboard, that is one major thorn in the side of trying to use Safe Mode?
Hmmm, can we see a new etrecheck report?

You say you did rebuild the Spotlight Index?
OK, so is all right with it now?
Yes, it is.
Great to hear, take care my friend! :)
Quicklook issue?
