Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AWKW file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The AWKW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AWKW file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AWKW or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AWKW files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of AWKW 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AWKW files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file AWKW 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 AWKW file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the AWKW file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AWKW file again. However, some background programs may block the AWKW file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
