How to create and access a hidden shared folder in Windows 10

In Windows 10, hidden share folders are also called “Administrative Shares” and are traditional share folders, except that they are not visible when browsing with File Explorer, the Run command, or using another app—unless you try to connect using the full path of the folder.
