SVG support in Windows10 file explorer
The best third-party software I use is to download the SVG Explorer Extension TanujMittal
I hope it's a reversible problem for my Windows 10 but here's the tip.

But for some reason, after years of using, on this date, 06-03-2020 I realized that it is not working as expected.
FYI, this developer has migrated through the closing of Google Code, to CodePlex, and from there finally to Github. There is a version 1.1.0 from May-2019 available. (Not to be confused with 0.1.1 being offered at software.informer)

If you try to install the 0.1.1 version you get a big red UAC prompt telling you that your Administrator has blocked installation. For anyone curious why, it's because the signing certificate was explicitly revoked.
artintech Yes. These also work. But I like to avoid 3rd party extensions as they tend to bloat up and slow down the system. Would be nice if we had built in support like it exists for other file formats such as png, jpeg, gif etc.
- A few months ago, Microsoft hinted on Feedback Hub that they are working on a new File Explorer. Maybe they will add SVG support in that one.
TanujMittal I agree with your opinion. A native tool would be excellent.
So, I managed to solve my problem. I chose not to show a thumbnail in the performance system.
- Hmm, so choosing not to show thumbnails actually shows thumbnails!
- an extension sounds good. Photos app on Windows 10 supports extensions. I install HVEC and AC1 extensions to watch those videos on Windows 10, so i think they can make a SVG extension for it too.
