How to open 7Z.031 file?

Step 1. Install 7-Zip

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 7Z.031 files.

Programs to open 7Z.031 file

Remember to download programs supporting 7Z.031 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of 7-Zip with 7Z.031 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the 7Z.031 file still does not use the 7-Zip program, it means no 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the 7Z.031 file with the 7-Zip program.

Step 3. Update 7-Zip to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the 7-Zip program, it is possible that Split Multi-volume 7-ZIP Compressed Format Archive (part 31) requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Igor Pavlov website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 7Z.031 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 7Z.031 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the 7Z.031 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover 7Z.031 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of 7Z.031 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 7Z.031 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Igor Pavlov, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 7Z.031 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move 7Z.031 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file 7Z.031 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 7Z.031 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
