The Always show all icons setting in Windows 11 Folder Options isn't working properly

In Folder Options, I checked the box for Show hidden files, folders, and drives and unchecked the box for Hide protected operating system files, but some hidden files or folders still aren't showing up. The problem persists even after refreshing or restarting File Explorer; it's as if the system is ignoring the settings.
