Found a little program that enables thumbnails in windows for STL files.
For me it's handy when importing STLs in exocad.
Much easier when you can just see a thumbnail, harder to pick the wrong file.

It's easy as downloading the file and installing it.

Scroll a bit down and pick .exe from the files list.
download page - STL-thumb - download page

Just thought some of you guys might find it useful.

I download and install the exe, I can’t see any preview like you posted here. So it doesn’t work on win10 for me

Hmmm
If you installed as administrator and restarted afterwards. And still doesn't work, I have no idea why. Im on win11 and it works, no problems.
Also, you need to be in thumbnails view. So it doesn't work when in details view at all, like any other files with thumb previews.
