Just remember that making hidden files visible will reveal lots of files and folders you couldn't see before. To make hidden files invisible again, just clear the 'Hidden items' checkbox. Windows uses a lighter colour for hidden file icons, so you can see at a glance which resources are hidden. If there's any hidden files or folders in your current view, they'll now be visible. In the 'Show/hide' section, check the 'Hidden items' option.

To make your hidden files visible in File Explorer, click the 'View' tab on the ribbon control at the top of the screen. You can select multiple files and folders and hide them all at once using the same technique. The file will immediately be hidden from view. Under the Attributes section, check the 'Hidden' option and click Apply. If you want to hide a file, simply right-click it and open the 'Properties' dialog from the context menu. Hidden files is a simple feature which mostly offers one-click controls to show and hide hidden content. This feature can, per the name, be used to hide files which you don't want to be visible when browsing through folders. Windows 10 supports hidden files across the system.
