FIX: OUTLOOK 2016 - Error " This file cannot be previewed because there is no previewer installed for it" Excel & Others

It seems to be a common thing on EXCEL 2016 previewer or other office 2016 previewers in outlook.

If you get this error " This file cannot be previewed because there is no previewer installed for it" most probably you have corrupt entries as by default all previewers are enabled...
