There is no need for a new Sigil version--quick or otherwise. 2.6.0 is running fine on several Windows 10 machines that I test on.

What was your previous Sigil version?

I ask because a blank Preview is typical of an insufficient graphics card (or graphics driver) to run the version of QtWebEngine that Sigil uses. But that version of QtWebEngine has been the same for 3 or 4 Sigil releases now.

Things to try:

1) Make sure the driver for your graphics card is updated to the latest version.

2) Under the Advanced tab of Sigil's General preferences section, try checking the "Disable GPU Acceleration of QtWebEngine/Preview" check box and restarting Sigil. Newer versions of Qt6 are leaving more and more graphics cards behind.

3) If that doesn't work, try creating a system environment variable called QSG_RHI_BACKEND and setting its value to 'opengl' (without the quotes). You may need to restart for things to take effect.
