QuickLook freezes and crashes

Yesterday quick view and file preview in finder stopped working. After a forced restart of the finder, the preview works, but it's worth using it once on any GIF file - it is displayed only once and after that, an endless loader on any files.

I didn't connect new hardware, I didn't use preview on new files, I didn't install new software. I noticed that this started after I turned on "show items as icons" instead of columns in a folder with a lot of GIFs.

Maybe someone knows how to overcome this?
