    .xlsm files not shown in Preview Panel of File Explorer

    A snag with my Windows 10 is that .xlsm files are not displayed in the preview panel of the File Explorer.
    Thanks for any help.

    What do you mean by "not displayed"? I can see all .xlsx and .xlsm files in Windows 10 Explorer ...

    Please update your forum profile with the version of Office that you are currently using if it is newer than Office 2010.

    Thanks, AliGW.
    Yes, I can see those files listed in the explorer; what I mean is that their content doesn't get displayed in the Viewing panel on the right (with that option activated).
    And my Office is still 2010.

    Ah, I see. Yes, that is correct - macro-enabled workbooks do not preview in Explorer.
