The POAR2W file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the POAR2W file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file POAR2W or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected POAR2W files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of POAR2W 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair POAR2W file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file POAR2W 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the POAR2W file to another location will fix the problem.
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 POAR2W file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
