Problem

I can open them in browser just OK, but how can I have thumbnails in the Windows Explorer? Edit: I installed Renesis Player as suggested by this answer, but it does not work for me, probably because I have 64-bit system.

Fix for: How to get SVG thumbnails in Windows Explorer?

Low Risk

Use this awesome SVG thumbnail shell extension which works fine in Windows 7/8/10 (both 64-bit and 32-bit): SVGSee - Extension module for Windows Explorer to render SVG thumbnails, so that you can have an overview of your SVG files. It is open source and free - what more can you ask for? On Windows 10 after installing, try changing your SVG file association (the "Open With"). By changing it, something somehow gets refreshed, and it starts working.
