What is DHY file?

The main program that supports this format is Adobe Bridge. This was created by Adobe Systems Incorporated.
How to open DHY file?
An often recurring problem with Adobe Bridge is that DHY is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file DHY to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DHY file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Adobe Bridge
In this case, you should first verify that the Adobe Bridge application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Adobe Bridge into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support DHY files.
Programs to open DHY file
Remember to download programs supporting DHY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Bridge with DHY files
If, despite the installed application, the DHY file does not start in the Adobe Bridge application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DHY file with the Adobe Bridge application.
Step 3. Update Adobe Bridge to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe Bridge program, it is possible that Adobe Bridge requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DHY file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the DHY file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DHY file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DHY files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DHY files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DHY files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems Incorporated help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DHY except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the DHY file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DHY to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DHY file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
