I have an issue where the preview of my PDF files are blurry, making the text unreadable.
I have coworkers that don't have this issue, with the exact same setup as me.
We all have both Acrobat Reader and PDF-XChange installed.
Windows 11
Just updated to Everything 1.4.1.1024, I am unsure what version I had before. (This issue was on both versions).
Blurry PDF Previews
Re: Blurry PDF Previews
If you have Acrobat Reader and PDF-XChange installed, it isn't clear what tool makes the preview.
Try the XCShInfoSetup.exe tool, to configure it as PDF preview.
Found by default under C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\Shell Extensions\XCShInfoSetup.exe.
This works perfect here.
