Hidden files in 64-bit Windows 8

Hi all I am under Windows 8 Pro 64 bit and it was a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit upgrade.

My problem is that I can't activate 'Hidden files' via the Ribbon or the menu folder options. It is not tick the box when I click it. Ive also noticed that don't "do not show and display" have not not a tick against or the other in the folder options.

Ive checked my permission on the registry key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
Advanced\ and I have all the permissions in the registry. When I change the value of 'Hidden' from 0 to 1 I get an error message ' cannot modify hidden: error writing to the new content value.

I don't know what else to try and hope that someone else may have an idea with this problem. For that interest them the most recent thing ive done with my pc was to install BitDefender Internet Security 2013. I disabled all services for Bitdefender and it did not a difference I thought there may be a possibility that this was causing my question.

Everything else works fine on my OS, I can just activate the hidden folder option.

SOLVED

I tried to create another profile and had nothing but questions, a lot of updates keep the Explorer and whatnot. Long story short, I've tried a few fixes and ended up killing Windows. Fortunately for me I an Acronis backup and managed to restore to that.

All faults indicate a virus or malware that caused the problem he sky exploded from there. All about everything I didn't not lose a lot and am happy that I have had the backup.

My guess is the period I uninstall and install my new AV, that I was quite alto of internet surfing at this time. I guess we will never know.

Thanks to all who responded. Very appreciated
