Windows 10: Can't See Hidden Files

I ran into a recent problem where I can no longer see hidden folders or files. Yesterday or the day before I could but now I can't . On the drive and folder my hidden folder is in, when I go to re-select the View and then click the Hidden Item box, the menu closes without checking the box. When I go into Control Panel, File Explorer Option, View and then go to select the Show Hidden Files, Folder, and Drive, I can select the radio button but it doesn't save/ work. I came across a post suggesting going into registry to ensure the correct values for Hidden were in SHOWALL "CheckValue" = 1 and "DefaultValue" = 2 and NOHidden where both values were 2 & 2. They were. I even turned off my antivirus to see if that was blocking something. No change. Any suggestion would be great. Thanks

Hidden folders

I installed `Kane and Lynch` on my PC twice in Program Files(x86) folder but I can`t find them (2 folders with game). But free space on my HDD is lower. So there`re those folders on my hdd. I use option `unhide` hidden folders but still can`t find them. Any suggestions? How can i delete those hidden folders?

When I run istallation for this game I can see those folders in Program Files(x86) folde.

I`m using Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

 

All hidden files turned Un-hidden

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being part of Windows 10.

I suggest you to re-add them to the hidden items list and check.

Steps:

• Right click on the folders to hide, select Properties.
• Go to General tab, under Attributes check mark the option
  Hidden.
• Click on Apply and on Ok.

I suggest you not to use any third party anti-virus software. Try to use Windows Defender.

Can't See files, not hidden

Folder options->show hidden files/folders.

Checking the hidden box is a property, not a viewing preference.
