Step 1. Install Microsoft Group Policy Object Editor

The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Group Policy Object Editor program installed. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Group Policy Object Editor into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ADML with Microsoft Group Policy Object Editor. Below is a list of programs that support the file ADML.

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Group Policy Object Editor with ADML files

If, despite the installed application, the ADML file does not start in the Microsoft Group Policy Object Editor application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ADML file with the Microsoft Group Policy Object Editor application.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Group Policy Object Editor to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Microsoft Group Policy Object Editor program with the Microsoft Administrative Language-specific XML Template Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ADML 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ADML file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ADML file. Sometimes virus-infected ADML files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ADML 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ADML file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ADML 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 ADML file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ADML file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ADML to close. However, some background programs may block the ADML file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
