You can use these commands to enable/disable template path hints.

bin/magento dev:template-hints:enable
bin/magento dev:template-hints:disable

Flush the cache after enabling using bin/magento c:f

Sometime removing var files manually may also helps,

rm -rf generated/code/ generated/metadata/ var/cache/ var/view_preprocessed/ var/page_cache/

Update

And as per given snapshot of config, you have to add query string templatehints=magento at the end in URL like this

http://yourdomain.com/?templatehints=magento

If you don't want to use this kind of query string and want to show template hints on each request, please change Enable Hints for Storefront with URL Parameter to No

(don't forget to flush cache and run above rm command after this config change)

Sometimes Path Hints won't be shown if:

  • The URL does not contain the templatehints parameter.
  • Developer Client Restrictions has an IP addressed listed that isn't yours.
  • The cache was not flushed after changing the option.
  • The site was changed to Production mode.

Developer Client Restrictions can be check in Stores -> Settings -> Configuration then Advanced -> Developer -> Developer Client Restrictions. Check that the Allowed IPs field is either blank, or contains your IP address.

    @DennisChan just to be sure - did you add the value to the url to see the hints?

    yeah, finally find out the url requires a templatehints=xxxxx parameter to show the hints. many thanks.

  • @DennisChan It never occurred to me that perhaps the URL param was not included. I've amended the Answer with your tip. Thank you.

In my case the problem was lack of attention. basically I just disabled the IP Developer Client Restrictions->Allowed IPs setting. You can see the answer here: https://magento.stackexchange.com/a/374121/112377
