Hidden Files and Folders, doesnt show

Uhmm. Hey Guys. I'm new here, so it's my first time to post here.

I Kinda got a problem, I open the windows explorer. and click the Organize button and go to the folders and search options, and click on View the Show Hidden files and Folders, then I unheck the Hide protected operating system files to see the hidden files. But, I dont see the hidden files in anywhere. and when I click back to the folder options, I see that the "Show hidden files and folders" were unticked. What's the problem? PLease Help.

I think I did it correct and, I tried the clean boot but, I know everything is fine. It's just that, one night when I scanned my laptop, It found a virus. And I removed it instantly, I just don't whether it caused that to happen becuase, it's just this time that I changed the folder options.

Hi, kysersoze (love that movie), welcome to the Seven Forums! :)

Have you unchecked "Hide protected operating system files"?

malwarebytes found an infection in the registry, and I deleted it. will that cause an inoperable system??? Help T_T

@mikedl I already tried it, but it didn't work also T_T

@Ezio
I ran only the quick scan.
