Since I ran the scrip you provided have an error as the path is not on our machine - see below. Not sure how to fix as the software is looking for the file location. Please reply.

New computer running windows 11. File explorer not showing preview for *.pes files (Brother Embroidery Software), but worked with no issues in Windows 10. Have read all of the potential solutions with no help. Appears file explorer cannot find the preview and may be associated with Onedrive, but not sure.
Contacted MS support and they said it was a 3rd party software issue and not a MS problem. They just ignored that everything worked fine in windows 10.
Would appreciate any help.

I really can't think of anything else to check. Since it works for me, I can only recommend trying on another computer, with a local account (not a Microsoft login), and see if that provides any clues. I'm out of ideas. It should work, yet it doesn't. Frustrating.
