Preview keeps crashing and will not quit. Should I remove and reinstall?

Every so often, Preview becomes ornery, and then will not close or quit using the drop down, the side panel or the shortcut.

Using 10.14.6


Thanks for any advice.



iMac 24″, macOS 11.5

FWIW, you cannot remove Preview or reinstall it without reinstalling the entire OS. You can force quit Preview from the Dock by holding the option key and control clicking on its icon.
