New report in comp.lang.clarion that new Windows 11 computer with a new install of 11.0.13505 PE will NOT show a Window Preview. You get no message, no files, no nothing. This will also be a problem in Windows 10.

I have a new Windows 11 computer and Window Preview doesn’t work. It does
nothing. No error or anything.I did some looking in these newsgroups, because I sort of remember something
about needing to install .NET 2.0 and/or .NET 3.5.I couldn’t find what I was looking for. Partly it was hard to find Window Preview.
Anyway, I wanted to install Windows Live Mail, which I use to view these newsgroups.
Installing WLM installed .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.5 automatically.Now my Window Preview button works.
This is covered in my first post that you need to install .NET 3.5 that will also install 2.0 It also shows the that the command dir %WINDIR%\[Microsoft.Net ](http://microsoft.net/)\Framework\v* will list you versions… see Post 1.
Bob installed Windows Live Mail that installed the older .NET and his Previewer now works. You can to run the .Net 3.5 installer from Microsoft. Or checkout this 3.5 Install Blog Post that has nice instructions.
