Greetings. The preview in file explorer has never been a live look inside a DWG file. It s astatic image from the last successful save of the file embedded inside the DWG file. Here are some troubleshooting tips

See below, your file's content and preview image match here for me too

Perhaps you are remembering extra content and that missing content is somewhere else found in all of these?

Ha, I think I know what you did not do (the flaw of assuming the preview is a live look into your file): ZOOM Extents inside your own DWG file and see for yourself.
