Windows 10: How to make Norton behave so other programs can work, properly?

The expiration of Norton has now arrived, and I do not want to renew at this time. And, Im wondering if anyone knows if it possible to disable Norton through defender. Otherwise I'll have to format It's just a little break!! .', and that will mean a huge loss productivity

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:



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!
