Folders in Windows 10
When you look for some files or folders in Windows 10 but cannot find them anywhere, if
they are not deleted, then it’s very possible that the files/folders are hidden and invisible. You
have to make them show up before you can view them.
In addition to hidden files and folders by users, actually, all Windows hide certain files and
folders related to operating system by default to prevent users from accidently deleting or
modifying the files and thus causing system fault.
Now if you want to show all hidden files and folders in Windows 10, this page will show you
three methods to do so.
Step 1: Click the File Explorer icon on the taskbar to open File Explorer.
Step 2: Click the View tab, and check the checkbox next to ''Hidden items'', which is
unchecked by default. This will reveal all hidden files and folders.
Tips: If you want to show hidden operating system files, clear the checkbox ‘Hide protected
operating system files (Recommended)’, and confirm the Warning dialog.
The first two methods will suffice to let you show all hidden files and folders in Windows
10. It’s the third method through changing registration value data in Registry Editor. It’s a
more advanced method just for your information.
Step 1: Press Win + R to open Run dialog, then type regedit and press Enter to open
Registry Editor.
