VisualSafe riskReversible

Reveals files marked hidden. Does NOT show system-protected files; that's a separate flag (ShowSuperHidden) we don't touch by default.

How MaxTweaks applies this

MaxTweaks applies this tweak with one click and snapshots your original setting first, so you can revert it cleanly at any time. A System Restore point is offered before batch changes, and every tweak links to its official source.
