File explorer: PDF's preview showing "INDEX OF" in network folders

Hi,

This issue started today at work on several computers on both Windows 11 and Windows 10. Could it be related to a recent Windows update?

Pdf files (and only PDF's) previews aren't working in any network folders, Instead of showing the file preview it shows "INDEX OF:"

Previews work normally for excel, word, etc.

Weird stuff.

    Removing the # solves the issue. should never have been an issue.

    What was so important in this update that the script had to be manipulated to a point that the previewer for the pdf folder get corrupted, how can this issue which is so easily visible pass testing. thank you Microsoft.
