  1. Hidden Data Files


    I am maintaining a program deveIoped under the x86 environment. I cannot find data for x86 program running under windows 10. the program installs to the program filesx86 folder but the data is going to another location. I need to review the data files before release of an update. Where did it go? I know its there - but where? I know they are hidden but I can't find the where Windows put them.

  2. 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.

    Refer: Using Windows Defender

    Hope it helps. Feel free to contact us for further assistance on Windows Operating System, we will be happy to help you.

  3. Recovering Hidden Files

    Well, you have already said that you had tried the cmd option but you unable to unhide hidden files in USB.
    So, I recommend you to recover hidden files from USB drive with Windows File Option. For this, you
    have follow these steps:

    • First of all, you have to press Windows + E to bring up the Windows Explorer.
    • Next, in Folder Options or File Explorer Options click the
      View tab
    • After this, in Hidden files & folders, you need to click the Show hidden files/folders & drives
      option.
    • Lastly, click the Apply, then hit OK
      button.
    After finishing all these steps, you can see the hidden files of the USB drive.

    Hidden Data Files

    Hidden files not behaving properly

    Sorry for the delay in responding; I had to deal with some other things along the way!

    I ran Step 5 and got this:

    Hidden Data Files [​IMG]

    Then I restarted Windows. When I got back into my folder, it looked the same as before and the hidden file was still invisible but this time, when I went into Folder Options, the "don't show hidden files, folders and drives" radio button was selected. I simply clicked the "show hidden files, folders and drives" radio button, clicked on Apply and my hidden file finally reappeared!

    Thanks for your help with this!!

    I'm still curious about why this functionality broke suddenly but I've got lots of other things on my plate so I think I'll get back to them.

    Thanks again!
