Hi,

We suggest that you check if the folder is hidden by following these steps:

• In the search box on the taskbar, type folder, and then select
  Show hidden files and folders from the search results.
• Under Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives, and then select
  OK.

Let us know how it goes.

 

hidden files are not showing

Hey Orko! My first suggestion would be a restart. This may fix the issue.

If it doesn't then try this:

Click on the Windows icon in the lower left corner and type folder.

• Select Show hidden files and folders from the search results.

• In the Advanced settings column, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives, then click Apply.

You might also want to go into the options where hidden files option is located and turn off "hide protected system files" as this might be ticked and not letting you see some options.

I also suggest running a malwarebytes and windows defender scan on your PC.

 

Show hidden files button is not working on Windows 10.0.14393

Hello John,

Windows contains some system files and folders which are hidden by default. However, there are times when you may need to show these hidden files and folders. If the option is not available or not working as it's supposed to, we recommend that you follow these
steps:

• Type File Explorer Options on Cortana's search field and press
  Enter.
• Click the View tab.
• Under Files and Folders, check the Hidden files and folders option.
• Try to toggle it then hit Apply.
• If you need to also show the system protected hidden files and folders too, uncheck the
  Hide protected operating system files option.

Let us know if you will need further assistance.
