In this tutorial, we'll learn how to unhide files and folders that were previously hidden on Windows 11. It's possible that you came to this page because you hid them by accident, and since hidden files aren't displayed by default, you don't know how to open the file properties dialog to change the setting back.
To unhide a file on Windows 11, follow the following steps:
1: configure the File Explorer to display hidden files. Doing so will make hidden files appear in the File Explorer with semi-transparent icons.
2: open the file properties dialog of the hidden file.
3: uncheck the "Hidden" attribute in the properties dialog.
4: click OK to apply the modifications. The file will become unhidden.
