Hi Jay​ 

A few days in, and the problem hasn’t come back! I will comment again if it does. But normally every other fix I tried (like relaunching Finder) would only work for a few hours.

jking1​  FYI see fix that worked for me. 

I think the file was called DropboxQL, a leftover from a previous version or from a change of computer.

this has been a lifesaver!!! that's the solution indeed, deleting DropboxQL (mine was from 2022), and Quicklook back to normal - thanks !!!
