Does pressing ‘show hidden files’ damage your PC?

[OnlyAlex]

Does pressing the box ‘show hidden files’ on File Explorer on Windows 11 damage your PC. I went to open a hidden folder but it said I needed permission and security clearance so I panicked and decided not to bother opening the folder and changing permissions, but should I be worried? I was trying to check something but wish I hadn’t bothered.

Cheers
