Step 2. Create association of Ashampoo Burning Studio with ASHBAK files
If, despite the installed application, the ASHBAK file does not start in the Ashampoo Burning Studio application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Ashampoo Burning Studio application as the default for handling the ASHBAK file.
Step 3. Update Ashampoo Burning Studio to the latest version

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ASHBAK file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The ASHBAK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ASHBAK file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 ASHBAK file. However, remember that not every infected ASHBAK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ASHBAK file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ASHBAK file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ASHBAK 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the ASHBAK file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ASHBAK file again. However, some background programs may block the ASHBAK file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
