2.) What should I consider at visible hidden files and folders on Windows 11 and 10!

You should not always work with the enabled options to display hidden files and folders, it is also mostly confusing (... see Image-2), because you see all the files (in MS file explorer and for example Quad-Explorer) that are partially intended only for the operating system. Accidental deletion of system files is also not recommended.
