Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:
Does the issue persist?

Hello
I have been using the portable version of the program and have never changed its settings, but the preview of PDF files disappeared after the October system update (the preview of PDF files disappeared in Windows Explorer as well).

Everything will show the same preview as Windows Explorer.
Please try reinstalling your PDF viewer.

A Microsoft October security patch for windows 10 & 11 resulted in Preview "Breaking". 
You will probably find that right clicking on a .pdf file and picking properties and at the bottom of the General Tab there will be the option to "Unblock" the file. There is much discussion on the web about this currently and how to resolve it. Microsoft have been somewhat quiet about it,
and have yet to issue a "Fix". If you are running Windows 10 and have not 'subscribed' to extended support, then there might not be a fix as the October patches were the LAST automatic patches for Windows 10
Options to resolve the issue with your current *.pdf files and needing to unblock many, you can use Powershell with the following command line to unblock all *.pdf files in a folder (and its subfolders). Replace "C:\Your\Folder" with name for your folder, (including enclosing in quotes.)
Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Your\Folder" -Recurse -Filter "*.pdf" | Unblock-File
