None of the extensions work.

This problem has occurred once before. I think there is a problem with automatic updates. Somehow extension DLLs cannot be overwritten. Can you check the latest version (v3.1)? If the problem persists, can you post the log file (Log.txt), maybe it will be a clue as to what went wrong?

Thanks for the log file, I think I've identified the problem. Can you look at the properties of one of the extensions DLL file? For example: "C:\FileExplorer\PreviewExtensions\ImagePreview\FileExplorer.Extension.ImagePreview.dll"

In the General tab of file properties, if there is a warning that says "This file came from another computer..." in the bottom and if there is a Unblock checkbox, then it means Windows is blocking the extension to be loaded.

There are two solutions:

1. You can unblock the DLL, but this problem will probably occur again when the application is updated.
2. Add following line to the runtime section of FileExplorer.exe.config file:

The config will look like this:

<configuration> ... ... <runtime> <loadFromRemoteSources enabled="true"/> .... ....

Please let me know if the second solution works for you so I can update the app with this setting and hope this issue never occurs again.

Hi !
Thx for answering!
I unblocked the DLLs and then I can activate the extensions.
But in case of preview of a file e.g. jpg-file I get an error message.

If I add the 2nd solution to config file then I can't activate the extensions. Maybe my config is wrong, so could you post the whole config file here?

Sure, here is the full config file:
FileExplorer.exe.config.zip
(I had to zip it because the github doesn't allow uploading .config file)

Hi!
Thx for the config file. With your config I have the following problems:
