If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the 7Z.017 file still does not use the 7-Zip program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program.

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the 7Z.017 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the 7Z.017 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected 7Z.017 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of 7Z.017 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 7Z.017 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Igor Pavlov
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file 7Z.017 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the 7Z.017 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the 7Z.017 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 7Z.017 file again. However, some background programs may block the 7Z.017 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
