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

    Yep. I noticed a # in the FILE name. Removed it and the preview was back.

    Thank you!!

    Hi, I got the same error message from out of the blue, everything was working at 10 in the morning and nothing was showing at 11. I was trying to solve the problem and at the end I was searching for help here. I didn't have "# " in the directory but when I read your message I looked at my problem-folders and I did have letter from the Norwegian alphabet (ø), eliminated it and dang, everything is back to normal. Thank you for the suggestion that made me find my own fix.

    Hi,

    I still have the same problem with the OneDrive folders, but just that, if a have some pdf in other folder all works. Then a check the onedrive and I have some files that looks like this, but not all of them, i have tones of files there. A dont use # this character, but still no preview, it is really frustrating.

    I would be very happy, if someone could help me out :)
