    I can't disable/uncheck show hidden files and file name extensions.I've tried registry editor method , but it keeps check itself when i try to see hidden files again.I've seen someone discovering the same issue with me, but they're using bitdefender.

  3. Can't uncheck "file name extensions"

    I accidentally checked the "file name extensions" box in "View" on File explorer and when I went to uncheck the box, it wouldn't work. I went into options and tried checking "hide extensions for known file types" and clicked Apply but when i went to check
    if it worked, it didn't. Naturally I went back to see what I did wrong to find it won't keep the box checked! It's really annoying. What am I doing wrong? Please help!
