SVG support in Windows10 file explorer

When we open a folder in windows 10 with bunch of svg images, i have to open each of them individually to know what image that is. It would be great if we had support for preview all of these images ...

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.

    joshie I recently did a clean installation of Windows on my machine and this message did not appear anymore. But before, looking for an alternative and not having, I gave up searching and installed the same. To my surprise, it went straight.
