To restore hidden files on drive, open CMD. To open cmd, tap and hold "windows button" and hit "r". Type "CMD" [without quotes]. Then find the prefix of the drive you want to restore (e.g. C: ; D: ; F: ; etc.). Now type the prefix to the cmd. Hit enter. Then type [attrib -s -h /s /d *.*] (without brackets). Wait for the prompt to finish.
