If you don’t know where the option is, right-click any file or folder and select Properties. In the General tab, check the ‘Hidden’ option at the very bottom and apply the change. That’s all it takes. The feature is obviously very useful and come Windows 10, hide/unhide exists as its very own button on the ribbon making it exceptionally easier to hide/unhide files and folders. Here’s how it works.

Open file explorer and select all the files and folders you want to hide. Go to the View tab and the Hide selected items button will be active. Click it and confirm if you want to apply the changes to the selected items only, or to all subfolders and files.

Windows 10 hides certain files so that you are not able to view them while exploring the files and folders on your computer. Windows has two types of files that Windows will classify as hidden and hide from the user. The first type are actually hidden files, which are ones that are given the +H attribute or specified as Hidden in a file or folder’s properties. The second type of file are System files, which are files that are required for the proper operation of Windows 10 as thus are hidden so that they are not changed or deleted by accident.

There are times, though, that you need to see the files that are hidden on your computer. Whether it is because malware has created them and set them to be hidden or you need to repair a problem on your computer that requires you to view Hidden or System files. Due to this it can be beneficial at times to be able to see all files, including hidden ones, that may be on your computer. This tutorial will explain how to show all hidden files in Windows 10.
