Is there a keyboard shortcut to hide/show files in Windows 11
Hello, I don't want to use the path operation via View → Show → Hide Items. I need a faster keyboard shortcut or method to toggle between hiding and showing files.
The direct method is Alt + V followed by H. This toggles the visibility of hidden files in File Explorer.
- Open a File Explorer window (Win + E).
- Press Alt + V to open the "View" menu.
- Then press H to check or uncheck "Hidden items".
For a faster method, you can enable a checkbox in Folder Options to make hiding/showing specific files easier, but there is no system-wide global keyboard shortcut for this action by default.
