How to display hidden files in Windows 10?

Windows 10 is the latest operating system from Microsoft and comes with many new features and updates. One of these is the ability to show hidden files. Windows has always had a feature for users to hide files, but it wasn’t always easy to find out how to display them. Luckily, Windows 10 makes it a lot easier to find and display these hidden files.

To display hidden files in Windows 10, you will need to take a few steps. The first step is to open the Control Panel. To do this, press the Windows key on your keyboard and type “Control Panel.” This will bring up the Control Panel window.

Once you have the Control Panel open, click on the “Appearance and Personalization” link. This will then open up a new window. In the new window, click on “Folder Options.” This will bring up the Folder Options window.

In the Folder Options window, select the View tab at the top. Under the Advanced Settings section, you will see a setting labeled “Show hidden files, folders, and drives.” Make sure to check the box next to this setting to enable the visibility of hidden files. Once you have done that, click the Apply button and then the OK button to save the change.

After this, you should be able to view all the hidden files and folders in Windows 10. To do this, go to any folder in File Explorer and click on the View tab at the top of the window (next to the Home tab). Then, make sure to check the box next to the option labeled “Hidden items.” This will make all the hidden files and folders visible in that folder.

If you want to make sure hidden files are visible in all folders, you can also go back to Folder Options and make sure the “Show hidden files, folders, and drives” option is set to “Always show.” This will make it so all folders in File Explorer will always show hidden files and folders.

These steps should help you display hidden files and folders in Windows 10. With these steps, you should be able to easily view any hidden files or folders in the File Explorer. It is important to remember that you should never delete or modify files and folders that you are not familiar with, as doing so can cause problems with your computer.
