Anyone had success with this?

It seems like you are having trouble with Foxit PDF viewer and the preview handler. The preview handler is a feature that allows you to preview PDF files in File Explorer without opening them in a separate application. To troubleshoot this issue, here are a few steps you can try: 1. Verify File Association: - Make sure that Foxit PDF viewer is set as the default program to open PDF files. You can do this by going to Settings > Apps > Default apps and selecting Foxit as the default app for PDFs. 2. Reinstall Foxit PDF Viewer: - Sometimes, reinstalling the PDF viewer can resolve any compatibility issues. Try uninstalling Foxit PDF viewer, restarting your computer, and then reinstalling it. 3. Check for Updates: - Ensure that both Foxit PDF viewer and the preview handler are up to date. Updates often include bug fixes and compatibility improvements. 4. Reset Preview Handler: - You can try resetting the preview handler by changing the default PDF viewer to another program and then setting it back to Foxit. This can sometimes refresh the preview handler settings. 5. Use a Different PDF Viewer: - If the issue persists, you may consider using a different PDF viewer with a built-in preview handler, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader. 6. Compatibility Mode: - You can also try running Foxit PDF viewer in compatibility mode. Right-click on the program shortcut, go to Properties > Compatibility, and try running it in compatibility mode for a previous version of Windows. If none of these steps resolve the issue, it could be a compatibility issue with your system configuration. Feel free to provide more details about your setup if you need further assistance.
