默认情况下，Windows 10会从您的视图中隐藏许多文件和文件夹。首先(First)，它会隐藏您设置为隐藏的项目，以及其他用户帐户、您使用的应用程序和Windows 10本身设置为隐藏的项目。其次(Second)，操作系统(operating system)还隐藏对其操作至关重要的文件和文件夹，以便用户不会删除它们或以导致故障的方式更改它们。如果您想查看隐藏在Windows 10中的所有文件和文件夹，请阅读本指南并了解如何：
注意：(NOTE:)在Windows 10中，有两类隐藏文件。要查看它们，请阅读本指南中的所有部分，而不仅仅是第一部分。最后，我们还将举例说明您可以更改的设置之间的差异。
如何在Windows 10中启用查看隐藏文件(Windows 10)
打开文件资源管理器(Open File Explorer)，然后单击或点击查看(View)选项卡，然后在Show/hide“隐藏项目”("Hidden items.")复选框。
您会立即开始查看您隐藏的文件、其他用户帐户、Windows 10 以及您正在使用的应用程序。
如何在Windows 10中启用查看隐藏的系统保护文件(Windows 10)
打开文件资源管理器(Open File Explorer)，单击或点击查看(View)选项卡，然后点击选项(Options)按钮。这将打开“文件夹选项”窗口(Folder Options window)，您可以在其中配置文件资源管理器(File Explorer)的工作方式。
在“文件夹选项(Folder Options)”窗口中，单击或点击“查看”(View)选项卡。在“高级设置(Advanced settings)”列表中，取消选中“隐藏受保护的操作系统文件（推荐）”框。(Hide protected operating system files (Recommended).")
警告您已选择在File Explorer中显示受保护的操作系统文件（标记为(File Explorer)System 和 Hidden(System and Hidden)的文件） 。要继续进行此更改，请单击或点击(click or tap)是(Yes)。
然后，在“文件夹选项(Folder Options)”窗口中，单击或点击“确定(OK)”以保存您的设置。从现在开始，Windows 10和文件资源管理器(File Explorer)将使操作系统(operating system)的所有文件都可见，这些文件曾经隐藏在视图之外。
查看隐藏文件和受保护的操作系统(operating system)文件有什么区别？
默认情况下，Windows 10 不会显示任何隐藏文件。因此，您的桌面将仅包含您或您的应用程序添加到其中的文件和快捷方式。
当您禁用“隐藏受保护的操作系统文件（推荐）”("Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)")设置时，您将在桌面上看到两个 desktop.ini 文件，其中存储有关(store information)Windows如何显示桌面的信息。不仅如此，您还会在计算机上的所有文件夹中随处看到desktop.ini文件。(desktop.ini)
重要提示：(IMPORTANT:)默认情况下，受保护的操作系统(operating system)文件会被Windows隐藏，因为它们对操作系统(operating system)的工作方式至关重要。除非您知道自己在做什么，否则您不应删除它们或编辑它们的内容。
为了更好地了解您可能开始看到多少隐藏文件和文件夹，在启用前面讨论的两个设置后，打开文件资源管理器(File Explorer)并转到：C:\Users，然后双击或双击您的用户名。默认情况下，在此位置，您只能看到用户的文件夹，如Documents、Music、Pictures等。
当您检查本指南中的第一个设置（隐藏项目(Hidden items)）时，您会开始看到一些新文件夹，例如AppData ，您的所有 Windows 应用程序都在其中存储(AppData)用户帐户(user account)的数据和设置。
当您取消选中本指南中的第二个设置 - “隐藏受保护的操作系统文件（推荐）”("Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)")时 - 您现在会看到更多文件夹和文件，例如Local Settings、SendTo 、 Start Menu等。Windows使用所有这些附加文件夹与您的用户帐户(user account)进行交互，并记住您的设置。
您(Did)是否启用了所有隐藏文件和文件夹的显示？
要查看 Windows 10 PC 或设备(PC or device)上隐藏的所有内容，您需要完成本指南中介绍的两个设置。但是，我们建议不要显示受操作系统(operating system)保护的文件和文件夹，因为大多数用户不知道如何管理它们，最终可能会弄乱他们的计算机和 Windows 10 设备。在您关闭本指南之前，请告诉我们您对设置进行的两项更改中的哪一项以及原因。在下面发表评论，让我们讨论。
How to view all hidden files and folders in Windows 10
By default, Windows 10 hides many files and folders from your view. First of all, it hides the items that you have set as hidden, as well as those set as hidden by othеr user accounts, the apps that yоu use, and Windows 10 itself. Seсond, the operating system also hides from view the files and foldеrs that are critical to its operation, so that users do nоt delete them or change them in ways that lead to malfunctions. If yоu want to view all the files and folders that are hidden in Windows 10, read this guide and learn how:
NOTE: In Windows 10, there are two categories of hidden files. To view them both, read all the sections in this guide, not just the first. At the end, we also give you examples of the difference between the settings that you can change.
How to enable the viewing of hidden files in Windows 10
Open File Explorer and then click or tap the View tab and then, in the Show/hide section, check the box for "Hidden items."
You immediately start seeing the files that were hidden by you, other user accounts, Windows 10, and the apps that you are using.
How to enable the viewing of hidden system protected files in Windows 10
Open File Explorer, click or tap the View tab and then the Options button. This opens the Folder Options window, where you configure how File Explorer works.
In the Folder Options window, click or tap the View tab. In the list of Advanced settings, uncheck the box that says: "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)."
You are warned that you have chosen to display protected operating system files (files labeled System and Hidden), in File Explorer. To go ahead with this change, click or tap Yes.
Then, in the Folder Options window, click or tap OK to save your settings. From now on, Windows 10 and File Explorer are going to make visible all the files of the operating system that used to be hidden from view.
What is the difference between seeing hidden files and protected operating system files?
By default, Windows 10 does not show you any hidden files. Therefore, your desktop is going to include only the files and shortcuts that you or your apps have added to it.
When you disable the "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" setting, on your desktop, you are going to see two desktop.ini files that store information about how the desktop is displayed by Windows. Not only that, but you are going to see desktop.ini files everywhere, in all the folders on your computer.
IMPORTANT: By default, the protected operating system files are hidden by Windows, because they are critical to how the operating system works. You should not delete them or edit their content, unless you know what you are doing.
To get a better perspective on how many hidden files and folders you might start seeing, after you enable the two settings discussed earlier, open File Explorer and go to: C:\Users and then double click or double tap on your username. By default, in this location you see only your user's folders like Documents, Music, Pictures, and so on.
When you check the first setting from this guide (Hidden items) you start seeing a few new folders, like AppData, where all your Windows apps store data and settings for your user account.
When you uncheck the second setting from this guide - "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" - you now see a lot more folders and files, like Local Settings, SendTo, Start Menu, and so on. All these additional folders are used by Windows to interact with your user account, and remember your settings.
Did you enable the display of all hidden files and folders?
To view everything that is hidden on your Windows 10 PC or device, you need to go through both settings covered in this guide. However, we advise against the display of operating system protected files and folders, because most users do not know how to manage them, and they may end up messing up their computers and Windows 10 devices. Before you close this guide, tell us which of the two changes in settings you performed, and why. Comment below and let's discuss.
