is the com.apple.quicklook.ThumbnailsAgent process broken ?

i'm on macOS 12.6, but have been experiencing an issue where preview thumbnails in icon view do not generate in Finder - over the past few macOS updates.

killing the process and relaunching Finder only temporarily fixes it.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.6

Greetings zero7404,

Begin by checking to see if the issue occurs in safe mode.

Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support

"Start up your Intel-based Mac in safe mode

Turn on or restart your Mac, then immediately press and hold the Shift key until you see the login window.
Log in to your Mac.
You might be asked to log in again.
On either the first or second login window, you should see “Safe Boot” in the menu bar."

Take care.
