I tried rebooting system. I tried restarting file explorer. I tried changing the default viewer for PDF files. I'm running windows 11. I don't know how to generate a "bug report".

When I installed power toys, all the "file explorer add-ons" file types were selected except PDF. So I manually selected PDF for both pane & thumb nails.
