The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts.

The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BR31 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move BR31 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BR31 file again. However, some background programs may block the BR31 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
