Hello,

Try this 1

1) Click on Start --> Run --> Type regedt32 and press Enter.

Registry Editor will be opened.

Note : Backup your registry by clicking on File ---> Export.

2) Then at left side navigate to this location

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL

Then at the right side, check these files

"CheckedValue" type should be REG_DWORD and data value should contain 1
Ex : 0x00000001(1)

"DefaultValue" " type should be REG_DWORD and data value should contain 2
Ex : 0x00000002(2)

Note : If both file type is not REG_DWORD, then delete that file--->

rightclick on white area---->NEW--->DWORD Value

Change the name to the respective file name and double click on it to change its value.

3) Click on the below link and download the file

Install it --> Update it --> Perform "Full Scan".

Good Luck
