Quick look -- Monterey -- not working

Hello,

Quick look (spacebar in Finder) shows the file thumbnail instead of a quick look preview.

How do I get Quick look working?

(New machine, MacOs 12.4, Macbook Pro 18,4)

Thanks for checking in.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.4

Quick Look opens file in Preview. Huh?? Just set up a new Mac Studio using Ventura 13.5. I always used Quick Look to see pictures and docs by pressing spacebar to view and then again to close. Now spacebar opens the file in Preview. NOT good. Pressing spacebar again does not close the window and the up/down keys don't scroll thru the files in the open window. This really stinks. I need a return to normalcy. Advice?

Quick Look not working properly on Ventura (13.3) Hello all, I've just noticed that Quick Look is not working on macOS Ventura (13.3). After restarting the Mac, I realized that the problem happens when I quick look gif files. If I'm quick looking file formats like png, it's all good, but, as soon as I preview with quick look a gif file, Quick Look doesn't work anymore. Restarting Finder allows me to continue previewing files with Quick Look, but opening another gif file causes the problem again. Anyone else having the same issue? Thanks!

Quick-look doesn't work properly when showing certain types of gradients in .pdf and .ai files Hi community, this is frustrating, I hope you can help me out. I just installed Ventura in my MacBook Pro 2017 and everything was fine excepting that the quick-look is buggy and displays less elements than supposed, this is happening until now, with Monterey I never had this problem, and it's ridiculous bc it's only with .pdf and .ai (illustrator) files specifically with documents with freeform gradients, when I open svgs this works fine !, you can take a look at it
