Quicklook keeps stopping and I have to manually restart it #1252

Not sure if this is that same as reported in #1192 (if so then go ahead and merge this in) but I'm finding that I have to frequently (multiple times a week) start Quicklook manually, as it will have stopped running in the background at some point. To get it to work requires starting it again manually.

I love Quicklook! So hoping there's a fix for this :)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to File Explorer
  2. Press Spacebar (nothing happens)
  3. Manually start Quicklook
  4. Repeat process and Quicklook now works properly when pressing spacebar

Expected behavior File preview occurs when pressing spacebar, without having to restart Quicklook frequently I have the same experience whether using File Explorer or the Files app

Have you tried the nightly version yet? I had the same issue with the store version of QuickLook on Win 11 22H2 and those reported in #1192 as well. But switching to the nightly release have solved them for me thus far.

I love QuickLook too and hope the changes to nightly make it to stable soon, cause the latter does not seem to work with the latest Win11 no matter what you do.

Turns out it might be a broader issue going on with my machine. I'm finding that all Store and web/PWA apps are closing when the laptop goes to sleep (so QuickLook would fall into this category). I'm running Windows 11 22h2 and didn't make any changes ahead of this behavior starting. It seems to have begun since the last OS update, don't know why. I've tried a bunch of things to fix it, no luck yet. If I download a nightly that might fix it if it's no longer coming from the store, will be a good test. Thanks!

This is interesting because the nightly version didn't change anything related to stability. The reason why it solves your problem, I think, is because the nightly version does not run in UWP and the UWP framework has some problems.

Could you try the latest release version, either MSI or ZIP?

Oh I see. I didn't look at any of the changes from the nightly and straight installed it ;)

I can definitely confirm this though. I cleanly uninstalled the nightly, restarted and installeld the MSI from here. It works the same, tried out the winget version (which just pulls the MSI from Git) and it works fine as well.

It is just the UWP store version that is currently broken on Win 11 22H2.

I can report that I downloaded 3.7.3 (after uninstalling the Store version) and so far it's working great :) Even though my other Store and web apps are closing during sleep still, QuickLook is now continuing to run. Thanks!
