How to open CACHE-2 file?

This causes the file CACHE-2 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CACHE-2 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 VLC media player
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that VLC media player is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name VLC media player into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation.

Programs to open CACHE-2 file
Remember to download programs supporting CACHE-2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of VLC media player with CACHE-2 files
If, despite the installed application, the CACHE-2 file does not start in the VLC media player 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 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the VLC media player application as the default for handling the CACHE-2 file.
Step 3. Update VLC media player to the latest version
If, however, after binding VLC media player with VLC Media Player Font Cache there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the VideoLAN Project Team website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CACHE-2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the CACHE-2 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CACHE-2 file. However, remember that not every infected CACHE-2 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of CACHE-2 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 CACHE-2 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use VideoLAN Project Team help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CACHE-2 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.
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. It is best to move CACHE-2 to a different directory.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the CACHE-2 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
