Never seen this message before. Win 10 Preview Pane. I get an error that says "File Not Found Error It may have been moved, edited, or deleted"

ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND

I'm getting this in one particular folder and it's sub folders. The file will open

    I'm confirming your conclusion that removing the # from the file folder works perfectly! My previews are back in the file folders!

    Thank you.

    The final fix for this was to delete the entire folder and all the files and copy them back from another computer

    Hi,

    Thanks for answering

    Let's try another solution:

    Settings > Update and Security > WIndows Security > Virus & threat protection > Virus & threat protection settings > Controlled folder access > Manage controlled folder access >

    Make sure the "Controlled folder Access" option is enabled

    If it is, disable this option and click “Yes” in the popup confirmation window.

    Hi, I'm Robinson, and I’m happy to help you today.

    I know how frustrating this may be for you but I'll do my very best to help you.

    This could be a problem in the thumbnail cache, cleaning the thumbnail cache should fix the problem.

    1-Click on Start, search for the Disk Cleanup and click on that

    2-Make sure the Thumbnails option is checked then click on Ok to clear

    3-Reboot your PC, then check the file again
