<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Like any other operating system software <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10" target="_blank">Windows 10</a></b> also has lots of system files and many of them are hidden. Showing hidden files on Windows 10 is not a hard task.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Tasks you need to do:</b></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Open <b>File Explorer</b> and go to the <b>View</b> tab. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You’ll find a ‘</span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hidden items</b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">’ checkbox there. </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Select it</b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, and you’ll be able to see most of the hidden files and folders.</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">but of course not all of them, as some files and folders are still hidden. These are system files and folders and tampering with them is never a good idea which is why they’re not easily visible to common windows 10 users. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Keeping the above lines in mind, you can still view hidden system files and folders. You just need to enable the setting a little differently.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Word of Advice:</b></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you really need to access the files of one of these folders for any reasons, my advice to you is first you should know exactly what you’re doing. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Viewing these hidden system files and folders isn’t actually very hard but just because you can see them in File Explorer doesn’t mean you will be able to modify them easily.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And there is a reason for it.</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You will notice that most of the time, the hidden folders that you have enabled to view, still cannot be accessed even if you’re signed in with the admin account.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />well, Because;<br /><br />These files and folders are used by the operating system and are hidden for a reason – deleting or modifying them might make your PC inoperable!</span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Bonus Tip:</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You should also create a system restore point in case things go sideways or not as you expected. Once you do that, you will have to change the permissions for the folders.</span><br />
