Quicklook not working Usually after I open quicklook and then close it again I cannot open quicklook again. And if I right click on an icon it lists exit quick look as an option but when I click it nothing changes.

What's my problem here?

I am on OSX 10.11.6
Try the following:


Open the Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
Type qlmanage -r and hit enter
Type qlmanage -r cache and hit enter
Close Terminal and restart your system


This should force QuickLook to reload the generator lists and reset the disk cache.
