How to open BLG file?

The most common problem when using Windows Binary Performance Log Format is that a specific BLG is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open BLG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BLG 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 Microsoft Performance Monitor

In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Performance Monitor application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Performance Monitor into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file BLG.

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Performance Monitor with BLG files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BLG file to open in the Microsoft Performance Monitor application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 BLG file with the Microsoft Performance Monitor program.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Performance Monitor to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Performance Monitor program, it is possible that Windows Binary Performance Log Format requires a newer version of the program.

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

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the BLG file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BLG file. However, remember that not every infected BLG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of BLG 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BLG file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BLG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the BLG file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BLG to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
