The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 360 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 360desktop

Programs to open 360 file
Remember to download programs supporting 360 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 360desktop with 360 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the 360 file still does not use the 360desktop program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 360 file with the 360desktop application.
Step 3. Update 360desktop to the latest version
If, however, after binding 360desktop with 360desktop Panorama Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 360 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the 360 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our 360 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover 360 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the 360 file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged 360 files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted 360 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the 360 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the 360 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the 360 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
