Disable Hidden Files on AutoPilot / Find my Device without Admin Rights

Hi all, I am stuck with my settings for the AutoPilot client. It is about two things to which I could not google anything so far:

 

1.) On the client, the normal user (not admin) after installation hidden files and folders are displayed. Is there a way to disable this via a Powershell script or CSP (Custom Policy)?

 

Thanks for the help and have a nice 2021 together

    Here is the reg path for it, you can push a simple ps script using Intune to change the value.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

    Hidden=2

    $path= ‘HKCU:\ Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced’
    Set-itemproperty -path $path -Name ‘Hidden’ -Value 2

    You can run the script with standard user privileges.

    Hope this helps!
