A help desk technician is preparing a Windows 10 laptop for malware cleanup. The user account's AppData folder is not visible in File Explorer. Which setting on the View tab should the technician enable so that hidden files and folders become visible?
Enabling Hidden items tells File Explorer to reveal any file or folder that has the hidden attribute set, including user profile subfolders like AppData that are normally concealed. File name extensions only shows or hides the suffixes such as .txt or .exe, while Navigation pane controls whether the left-hand folder tree is displayed and has no effect on hidden content.
