When you log back in, the changes will take effect. When you’re done, close “PowerToys Settings” and restart your machine. When “PowerToys Settings” reloads (you might find it minimized in your system tray), click “File Explorer” in the sidebar, and you’ll see options related to enabling or disabling SVG thumbnails. SVG thumbnails are enabled by default after you install PowerToys, there’s nothing else you have to do.īut, if you’d like to disable SVG thumbnails later (without uninstalling PowerToys) or you’ve previously disabled and want to enable them, launch “PowerToys Settings.” Click “General” in the sidebar, then click “Restart as administrator.” You’ll see them on the desktop, in File Explorer windows, and in the File Explorer preview pane.

Next, install “PowerToys,” and you’ll be able to see SVG thumbnails by default. In the Preferences dialog box, choose General in the Categories list, and then select the Enable PDF thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer check box.
