Microsoft PowerToys breaks Outlook PDF preview

Post by NotNull »

As the previewing of PDF files is a recurring theme on these forums:

Microsoft PowerToys breaks Outlook PDF preview

(Not even sure if it affects the Explorer preview too or just the Outlook preview; one would expect the first though).

PDF preview in Power Toys is optional and I switched it off.
I use the one which comes with actual Edge, in Everything, Explorer and XYplorer.
In TC I have SLister with SumatraPDF which is much better.

From the change log of the freshly released PowerToys 0.57.0:
We've disabled PDF preview by default, given its incompatibilities with Outlook and that Edge is now being registered for previewing PDF files on Windows 10 too.
