Preview functionality only works on desktop, not in other folders

Description

After installing QuickLook on Windows, I've noticed that the preview functionality is only working for files on the desktop. When trying to preview files in other folders, the feature does not work at all.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install QuickLook on Windows
2. Navigate to the desktop and select a file
3. Press spacebar to preview the file (this works as expected)
4. Navigate to any other folder (e.g., Documents, Downloads)
5. Select a file and press spacebar
6. Observe that the preview does not appear

Expected Behavior

The preview functionality should work in all folders, not just on the desktop.

Actual Behavior

The preview only works for files on the desktop. In all other folders, pressing the spacebar does not trigger a preview.

Environment

OS: Windows [your Windows version, e.g., 10 or 11]
QuickLook version: MSI 3.7.3

Additional Information

This behavior is consistent across different file types
The issue persists after restarting the computer and the QuickLook application

Screenshots and Exception Log

Couldn't find the Log in the file's location, but attached a video showing the issue.

In video, you installed the FolderViewer plugin.
Does the problem still exist after trying to uninstall it?

Unfortunately, this issue existed before I installed any plugins. I thought the lack of plugins might be the problem, so I downloaded and installed the folder plugin, but the issue persisted. While editing this message, I tried uninstalling it, but the problem still remains.

The preview feature only works on the desktop and not in other folders, regardless of whether the FolderViewer plugin is installed or not.

I can't reproduce the problem you describe in Windows 11, I haven’t used Windows 10 for many years.

Is there a way to export the log file so I can possibly figure out why is the problem occurred? Another Win10 PC of mine works fine with this tool, so it shouldn't be an issue of Win10.
