    Program files x86 hidden


    Hi, i just updated my Windows 10 Pro x64 with Anniversary update and now i have Program Files x86 as hidden folder.
    Why? Programs are working fine, but can i somehow make it visible as before?

    Thanks for reply.

    Hello LamaObecna, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)

    You can run the command below in an elevated command prompt to unhide that folder.

    attrib -h -s "%ProgramFiles(x86)%"

    Hello Davinci, and welcome to Ten Forums.

    That usually means a character in the command has been typed incorrectly.

    If you like, please go ahead and post a screenshot of the command prompt with the command and error to see if anything may stand out.
