Description

We recently migrated our files to a new server and QL won't let me preview any files located on it. I get the error in the picture below

When I click the spacebar it should preview the image/video/audio file but I always get that.

  • OS Version:Windows 10 19044
  • QuickLook Version: I tried the Windows Store and the MSI

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on Windows 10 19044 with QuickLook installed from the Windows Store or MSI, using image, video, or audio files located on the migrated server and triggering preview with the spacebar. Inspect the attached error and compare behavior with files stored locally; done means supported media files on the server preview successfully.
