    That will most likely depend on what your registered viewer or reader is. Which program is launched when you double click a pdf?

    Also please advise your Windows build.

    For test purposes try downloading and installing Sumatra (free) and registering that to handle pdfs. See if that works for you.

    If so, set Foxit again as default pdf reader and retry the preview pane.

    If no joy, you could try reinstalling Foxit.

    Foxit 9.1 seems the latest..

    There's a modest Foxit forum..

    Good. I wonder if reinstalling Foxit would have solved that? It works ok in mine (1709).

    - do you know what the preceding event was? E.g. upgrade to 1803?

    June 12 update broke it again. Had to install handler again to fix it.

    Hi, try Xodo from the windows store and see if that works for previewing/viewing pdfs.

    For interest perhaps:
    Why the Windows Explorer PDF preview stops working?

    Try Sumatra as I mentioned above and see if that is similarly adversely affected by an update.
