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 SECURECRYPTED file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SECURECRYPTED file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SECURECRYPTED file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SECURECRYPTED files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SECURECRYPTED 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 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 SECURECRYPTED files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SECURECRYPTED 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 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 SECURECRYPTED to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SECURECRYPTED file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
