Resolved Mac Studio images are not showing - keeps clicking - what is the issue ?

[4sallypat]

'22 Mac Studio w/ Sonoma OS - having an issue loading images on either screen (dual monitors).

Have to refresh the window to see the image previews.
Each time I refresh, I hear a slight click (like a rotational hard drive click).

Is something going wrong ?

Great it's working. Don't know about the click noise though. Maybe it was a system sound?

Yah, it's strange - the click noise has gone away after I restarted the com.apple.quicklook.... process and restored the thumbnails....
