file preview stuck on loading icon | does not preview or quick from finder

Ever since I updated to the latest macOS (ventura 13.3 - 22E252), the preview and quick look feature for files in finder does not work. It keeps loading but never previews the file.


However, the preview app does work, so when I fully open the file, it opens up correctly with it's designated app but the quick look feature and preview in finder does not. This seems to affect files of all size types small to large


I've attached a screenshot for reference.
