My IT guys at work somehow keep disabling the show hidden files and folders feature in windows 10. So I wrote a program that checks every 5minutes and turns it back on lol

You could update it to report when it had to actually switch it back, and perhaps find the source of the problem.

99% sure it's just a group policy that somebody switched on because "I don't want users to delete config files by accident and call me".

Your script could send your IT guys an email too, that might eventually fix the source of the problem…

Oh I have. It's a standard policy for everyone in my organization

I don't work exclusively with programmers and it's a rather large bearucratic nightmare

Try not to infer more than what is presented please.
