What is IUS file?
The file with the extension IUS is the System Files file type. The creator of this file is Shanghai InfoTM Microelectronics. Additionally, the System Files category contains 323 of other files.

How to open IUS file?
The main problem with InfoTMIC Firmware Update Format is that the IUS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that IUS files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IUS 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 iusutils
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that iusutils is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name iusutils in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file IUS.
Programs to open IUS file
Remember to download programs supporting IUS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of iusutils with IUS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IUS file still does not use the iusutils program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the iusutils application as the default for handling the IUS file.
Step 3. Update iusutils to the latest version
If, however, after binding iusutils with InfoTMIC Firmware Update Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IUS file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to IUS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IUS or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover IUS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the IUS files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IUS files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IUS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the IUS file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the IUS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
