I was trying to add the new 3D viewer in windows 10 to the preview handlers but I can't seem to find a way to get the GUID for the Mixed Reality Viewer.

I have found the 3DViewer.exe in the following location:

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Microsoft3DViewer_4.1804.19012.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

I haven't tried this myself, and don't have any sample files, are you sure that Windows installs a preview handler for those formats you mentioned, or just an application to view them?, also it would need to be a 32bit preview handler to work with XY, that path you provided looks like a UWP application which I don't think will work:

For 3DBuilder 3MF format, if that helps, but I haven't tested it:

and for instructions:

Yeah, doesn't look like it will work :(

Thanks for helping!
