    Maybe, you get in view, that not show hidden files, and
    somehow the new programs made hidden attributum active on
    your windows folder. Try to set in tool, folder options,
    view the hide hidden file inactive.

    I hope it will help.

    Hi,

    Control Panel/folder options/view tab, you need to allow the viewing of
    hidden and system files.
