    How to show svg image in file explorer WITHOUT installing Powertoys?


    Just as the title says. Why isn't this supported natively without having to keep installing apps for basic functions?? I am trying to limit the processes that are running on my computer and not to keep adding more for basic user function.It is sad that basic functions Microsoft refuses to add, but they will force their bloatware down our throats or throw it in to a unnecessary app when we only need 1 feature in that app.

    :)

    Why is the SVG icon thumbnail preview issue in File Explorer never resolved ?

    Hi Jaris,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.

    I understand your frustration with the ongoing issue of SVG icon thumbnail previews in Windows File Explorer.

    If you need to reinstall SVG See every time Windows starts and the operating system blocks it, this may be due to an operating system security policy or setting. Try running the SVG See installer with administrator privileges. Right-click on the installer and select "Run as administrator". If the problem persists, try contacting the developers of SVG See, who may be able to provide a solution specific to their application.

    Regarding the Preview Pane previewer in PowerToys, if the preview pane doesn't seem to be working when the extension is set to On, there may be an advanced setting in Windows that is preventing the preview handler. Open the Options menu in Windows File Explorer and select the View tab. Under the View tab, you will see a list of Advanced Settings. Make sure there is a checkbox next to "Show preview handler in preview pane" in order to show the preview pane.



    Thumbnails may not appear on paths managed by cloud storage solutions such as OneDrive, as these solutions may fetch thumbnails from the cloud rather than generating them locally.

    If the above doesn't help, you can bring this issue to the attention of the Powertoys development team. PowerToys File Explorer add-ons utility for Windows | Microsoft Learn

    How to enable svg preview in file explorer?

    I want to preview .svg files in file explorer. I've been trying to use the file explorer extension available here in github, but to no avail. My Windows version is Windows 10 Home (more specifically, update 1809). My computer is x64 system, so I used that version. After installing the extension, I changed the default app, as suggested here but nothing changed.

    I got curious and changed view setting in file explorer and found that when the view is set to Small icons/List/Details, I cannot preview the svg files(icon becomes whatever the default app is), but in other modes, like tiles, I can view the previews. Additionally, I have found that regardless of the view mode, preview in the Details pane(panel at the right edge of the file explorer) works. I have rebooted my pc and restarted explorer through task manager countless times. I also tried to remove the file association for .svg files entirely, hoping that would stop the icons from becoming the default app's. However, The default app just switched to internet explorer and I was not able to fully remove the file association.

    Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.

    Is there a native way to preview SVG files in Windows 10 file explorer?

    Is there a native way to preview SVG files in windows 10 file explorer like the way other popular image formats do?

    I know SVGs can be seen with Microsoft Edge, but it´s not the same.
