No video player in File Explorer Preview Pane

I have enabled preview handlers in options, PDF files are showing, HTML are showing, but not videos or audio have a player in Windows File Explorer Preview Pane. It just shows a thumbnail.


Windows 10 and latest Full K-Lite codec pack.

This feature was added 3 years ago, but doesn't work...

Changelog 15.1.6 to 15.2.0 ~ 2019-10-03
Added option to enable playback ability in the preview pane of Explorer

How do I enable this playback ability? Because by default it doesn't work. I had already uninstalled K-lite codec pack, cleaned registry with various cleaners and installed again, still no playable video.

The old video preview handler that comes with Windows is broken. It gets stuck on the first file. It has been broken on Windows 10 forever so it does not look like Microsoft will ever fix it.

You could use an alternative such as:
