    I hid a folder and tried unhiding it, now computer won't work properly.


    So, I was hiding folders, and to be exact, I hid a whole user folder, ex I have two users, for simplicity, I will call them User 1 and 2. I hid User 1's whole folder. I also disabled user 1, but I don't think that is the problem. But basically, now when I tried Unhiding everything, both Users 1 and 2 are now buggy, my windows key won't work, searching doesn't work It loads infinitely. I was also tried to disable folders from being searchedthrough setting file search, maybe that's the problem for the search? My user and its apps don't recognize data. For example when logging in, everything

    Unable To Unhide Hidden Folders

    solved

    They were marked as system files by virus so i wasnt able to see.. i enabled to view system files in options then i can see folder but yet cant unhide.

    i googled and found solution.

    I tried attrib -s -h folder name & it worked for that folder. Then I tried attrib -s -h /s /d which did all the folders, sub-folders in a single go.
