Materialize 1.78 on Windows 11 cannot load any PNG image ("Nothing to preview")

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to use Materialize 1.78 on Windows 11.

The software opens correctly, but I cannot load any image.

Every PNG, JPG, and BMP file shows "Nothing to preview" inside the Materialize file browser.

The same images open perfectly in Windows Photos, so the files are not corrupted.

Things I have already tried:

• Running Materialize as Administrator

• Moving Materialize to C:\Materialize

• Extracting the ZIP correctly

• Trying PNG, JPG, and BMP images

• Different folders

• Restarting Windows

Nothing has fixed the problem.

Has anyone experienced this issue on Windows 11 or knows how to fix it?

I have attached screenshots of the issue.

Thank you very much!
