If your talking about in explorer, you can add a new toolbar item to classic shell toolbar with the command "hidden_files"
The start menu doesn't have such a feature, and is not meant as a full fledged file browser. |

The only thing we really block is intentional spam (which is usually like 20 links in a single post whose body does not even form a coherent paragraph) |
