Windows 10: Photos Folder and Hidden/System Attribute Automatically Set

I have several folders located on NAS drive with {random path}\Photos\ When navigating to the folder can go to the path {random path} and the folder will be missing from explorer. There are two ways I can get to the folder without changing my system settings to view system and hidden files. 1. Type {random path}"\Photos" in the explorer bar2. Run "Attrib -s -h {random path}\Photos" from a command promptI have repeatedly had to do both. The attributes don't stay. After a reboot or some amount of time the "Photos" folder is marked as hidden or system or both.Microsoft, why can't I name a folder

How to clear hidden and system attributes of folder

You may still wish to remove the system and hidden attribute. You can do that from a command prompt with the command:
ATTRIB -S -H foldername

Here I removed the SH attributes from a test folder I had made system/hidden...

 

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.

 

Restore hidden file attributes

Thanks for the response. I did a system restore, it worked on some files (on AppData) but not on all of them.

The cardinal sin was that I did a right click in 'users' folder, properties --> attributes --> hidden (unmark,apply) --> apply to all subfolders. When I did the counter step, it obviously hides all the previously shown files too.
