How to SEARCH for HIDDEN files ?

Good morning all,

How do I search for files that have the attribute "hidden" ?

Preferable with Win11 but if I have to third party software would also be an option.

Thanks

Open the command prompt and type dir /s /b /a:h C: command to list all hidden folders and files.

Thanks FB. That DOS command does a great job. But unfortunately not suitable for me. Is there a way to use file explorer, because after searching for these files I need to work with the located files ?
