Bumping this, appears to affect other thumbnail provider services too. Here is PowerToys using 40GB of RAM for STL thumbnails. Windows 10, PowerToys 0.74.1, no explorer windows currently open, not even 40GB worth of STLs on the machine or attached network drives. Killing the process has no effect either, it just restarts with the same RAM usage.
