Michael from Teaching Tech made a video guide about the installation. He was so kind to allow me to embed it here! Thumbnail installation starts at 1:49.
Thumbnail generation is based on the fastest STL viewer available. Folders full of STL files are no problem, and most STL thumbnails are generated as fast as those of JPG photos.

He walked out five minutes later wearing a pair of "Midnight Aviators" that felt suspiciously like recycled soda bottles. The "free" pair—a garish set of neon-pink wayfarers—he shoved into his back pocket, thinking they’d make a decent joke gift for his niece. buy 1 get 1 free sunglasses
The world exploded into a silent, vintage cinema. The sand turned into powdered sugar; the seagulls flew in slow-motion trails of light; and the people on the beach weren't just sunbathing—they had glowing, colorful auras that pulsed with their moods. A grumpy lifeguard glowed a sharp, jagged red; a toddler with an ice cream cone was a soft, radiating sunshine yellow. Leo was a man who lived his life

Clear your Explorer thumbnail cache (see above) or copy the file to a different location.
This is a bug in Windows 10 that also affects other thumbnails – for example transparent PNG images here and here.
I can’t do anything in my program to work around it, I’m afraid. Please use the Windows 10 feedback function to report this to Microsoft. If enough users do it, they may eventually fix it. Windows 7 does not have this bug.
