How to see hidden devices in Device Manager Windows 10

From the Device Manager in Windows 10 we have the possibility to manage everything related to peripherals and system elements, especially their drivers, there we can update, disable, uninstall and more associated tasks so that the devices work in the correct way In Windows 10. Many times a device is connected in Windows 10 but we see that it does not recognize it or that it does not appear in the Administrator list, this can happen simply because it is hidden and you go crazy trying to find it to manage it..
