In photo directory preview mode .HEIC photos won't preview or preview in the Floating Preview popup. I tried several of the other post recommendations and none work...what's the fix?

Windows Explorer shows the preview? If yes, show a screenshot of the WE window...

In that case: Without an installed preview handler that works in WE you won't get a preview in XY either

Windows Store Extensions: Microsoft has an official extension for HEIC support.
Open the Microsoft Store app on your computer.
Search for "HEIF Image Extensions" and install it.

Might also try Icaros, which uses ffmpeg to generate thumbnails. Can even be run portably with admin rights.
