How to open AGPREFS file?

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom with AGPREFS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AGPREFS file still does not use the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom application as the default for handling the AGPREFS file.
Step 3. Update Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to the latest version
If, however, after binding Adobe Photoshop Lightroom with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Preferences there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AGPREFS 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 AGPREFS file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AGPREFS file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected AGPREFS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of AGPREFS 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AGPREFS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems Incorporated
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AGPREFS 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.
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 AGPREFS 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AGPREFS to close. However, some background programs may block the AGPREFS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
