Quicklook popup broken after upgrading to Windows 11 #955

prakharb5 · 2021-07-11T06:04:15Z

Describe the bug

After upgrading to Windows 11 Dev Insider, I noticed that the Quicklook popup is very buggy. It takes a long time for displaying info and previews correctly. Even the buttons on the top left and top right look weird. Plus, the cursor starts having a laggy motion when the popup is open.

I also noticed that this bug only happened when the quicklook popup was opened from File explorer. When i tried quicklook-ing a file on my Desktop, the popup opened just normally.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Upgrade to Win11 Dev insider from Win10
Try opening quicklook for a folder or an image
See error

Expected behavior

The quicklook popup should properly display the information and/or image normally.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS Version: Windows 11 Dev Insider 22000.65
QuickLook Version: 3.6.11 from MS Store

I tend to believe it's a Windows bug. I'll wait for a few more builds before spending time fixing it.

I tend to believe it's a Windows bug. I'll wait for a few more builds before spending time fixing it.

Even I believe it's a Windows 11 Problem. Because as I "preview" my files, and keep QL on top, then drag the currently open window, the movement lags a LOT!

Check the screen recording attached, you'll understand what I am saying!

It's not just quicklook that has this problem.
It may be caused by the windows11's rendering of blur.
Turning off the system transparency and turning off the App blur effect can temporarily solve the problem.
Test on 22000.71

When I open a folder, quicklook render like this... Something wrong happend on system win11?

How did you disable app blur effect? Disabling via system setting won't fix the problem

@Marocco2
You need to modify the code and then build

QuickLook/QuickLook/ViewerWindow.xaml.cs

Line 106 in 0dd8e91

WindowHelper.EnableBlur(this);

Thanks, gonna try it ASAP

ikas-mc · 2021-07-24T06:38:00Z

The api [SetWindowCompositionAttribute] is broken on win10(1903+) and win11, maybe we need to stop using this api, or add a option to disable blur...
It will not only cause problems in the app itself, but also cause problems in other windows

or add a option to disable blur

i am in total support for adding option to disable blur.

Stem-LG · 2021-07-25T16:11:56Z

this doesn't happen using Files, I suggest using it as an alternative until microsoft provides a fix

Files use win32 host a standard uwp project,so files does not use the internal api...

Explained in the wiki

DiegoMagdaleno · 2021-07-26T14:55:19Z

Maybe quicklook should migrate to the new Mika material instead of blur?

fytuf · 2021-07-30T06:25:00Z

Interesting, this bug only seems to happen in the NEW Explorer. It works perfectly fine on Files UWP, the desktop, and the old ribbon explorer.

Added a workaround to Nightly, please use the Nightly version plus this config, until MS fixed this issue.

prakharb5 · 2021-08-01T13:29:27Z

I installed the nightly build and disable transparency via config, and its working normally now! 🎉

But it has these ugly white pixels in the corners, but I guess this is an issue on MS' side, since I have seen this with other apps too.

xupefei · 2021-08-02T12:08:24Z

The white border pixels might comes from the window border. I'll look into it later.

Schlave · 2021-08-05T19:22:12Z

White artefacts seems to be fixed with nightly build + transparency disabled + latest Windows 11 preview build (Build 22000.120) just released today. Just tried it.

They mentioned it in the fixes: "We've done some work to remove the unexpected white artifacts in the corners of windows when using dark mode."

omorefe · 2021-08-11T02:37:17Z

also not working for me, same problems

Have you check this comment above?

OpenWaygate · 2021-08-16T07:14:36Z

I have installed the nightly version on 22000.132 but not modify the transparency settings, the preview window appears right after I start quicklook, but several hours later I press space nothing hapens, I have to restart quicklook.

You have to modify the transparency flag in the nightly version. Of course you'll have a problem if you don't do that.

mwidmann · 2021-08-26T10:26:07Z

I upgraded to the nightly version and disabled transparency. It works nicely now. The only thing is that the keyboard navigation between files doesn't work anymore. If I'm in a folder with more than one file, the old version jumped to the next file if ich hit the down key on the keyboard. This doesn't work anymore.

NFLS-1963 · 2021-09-03T02:35:17Z

Same.

WhiteNervosa · 2021-09-04T16:25:29Z

I felt like an idiot looking on Appveyor for awhile but it seems the nightly build expired for being a month old.

Can it be bumped or am I missing it, elsewhere?

Void48 · 2021-09-06T23:26:03Z

Nightly builds expired :/ @xupefei

xupefei · 2021-09-07T08:04:51Z

@WhiteNervosa @Void48
New build: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/xupefei/quicklook/build/artifacts

I'll release a new version this weekend.

NFLSCode · 2021-09-07T08:06:51Z

@xupefei thanks.

Zbynius · 2021-09-14T09:52:43Z

@xupefei Which weekend is it about?

Zbynius · 2021-09-14T16:56:23Z

Font plugin don't work in Windows 11 (64 bit Home) in nightly version QuickLook QuickLook-3.6.11-24-g69d6aa0.
Crashing on TTF and OTF font files.

xaryangupta · 2021-09-15T06:39:46Z

can you make it possible to subscribe to nightly builds within the app (like ShareX)? or on ms store thru signup emails(like Xodo PDF and Files by Yair)? or a separate Quicklook nightly on the store?(like Windows Terminal/myTube)

xaryangupta · 2021-09-15T06:51:19Z

Also quicklook doesnt seem to work with Everything 1.5a (voidtools)

Just subscribe/watch this project on github and you'll get emails on commits which cause new nightly builds.

xupefei · 2021-09-15T16:56:57Z

@xupefei Which weekend is it about?

Maybe this weekend... I'm now moving, so I don't know when I can unpack & setup my developing rig.

xaryangupta · 2021-09-17T18:06:01Z

No updates for quite some time...

Zbynius · 2021-09-17T18:10:56Z

@xZayn Be patient! The developer is already working on it. It's a matter of a few days. The temporary solution (nightly version) works OK.

xupefei · 2021-09-20T07:43:57Z

Fixed in Version 3.7.0.
