I'm getting a parsing error when previewing files, why?

I'm getting a parsing error on every file. In the app, if I click a file, it shows a construction picture?

I just changed the default to open with installer. Not sure why it changed after 4 years. I guess I'm resolved. Thank you for responding.

This appears to be an APK file, which doesn't have any preview on it as it's an Android app package file, so this is expected behavior.

Are you getting this image with any other normal files like JPG or DOCX files?
