How to open BDV file?
The main problem with BitDefender Vault is that the BDV file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that BDV files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BDV file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install BitDefender
In this case, you should first verify that the BitDefender application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name BitDefender in it.

Programs to open BDV file
Remember to download programs supporting BDV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BitDefender with BDV files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BDV file to open in the BitDefender application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BDV file with the BitDefender program.
Step 3. Update BitDefender to the latest version
If, however, after binding BitDefender with BitDefender Vault there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Softwin website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BDV file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The BDV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the BDV file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BDV or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BDV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BDV file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BDV files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Softwin
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BDV 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the BDV file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the BDV 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 BDV file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
