The closest I've seen to actually hiding files/folders is with an app called Gilisoft USB Stick Encryption. Files on that encrypted VHD are unencrypted automatically when you access them, & any files added are automatically encrypted. You use the Veracrypt program to mount its VHDs, so they appear as another drive in Windows Explorer. It doesn't really hide your files, but uses an encrypted VHD where your stuff is stored, so rather than individual file/folder names, that VHD file is all anyone sees, & it can be stored anywhere, including inside another Veracrypt VHD. Like BitLocker, Veracrypt can encrypt whole drive partition(s), but it also can protect files/folders on an otherwise unencrypted drive/partition. Likewise Windows EFS won't hide anything, but may be the simplest way to encrypt files &/or folders, turned on/off via the properties dialog using Windows Explorer. Win10 Pro & Ent., but the learning curve might be a bit steeper yet, & it only provides encryption. BitLocker is included in some versions of Windows, e.g. In comparison the free open source VeraCrypt isn't really hard to use, but there is some reading/learning involved. The advantage of software like Wise Folder Hider Pro, IMHO, is ease of use.
