What is CB file?
The file with the extension CB is the System Files file type. The creator of this file is Microsoft Corporation. In addition to this file, the System Files category includes 323 related files. Microsoft Clean Boot is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use Microsoft Windows to handle this file. This is a program created by Microsoft Corporation.
How to open CB file?
The main problem with Microsoft Clean Boot is that the CB file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CB 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 Windows
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Windows application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Windows into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CB with Microsoft Windows. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CB files.
Programs to open CB file
Remember to download programs supporting CB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with CB files
If, despite the installed application, the CB file does not start in the Microsoft Windows application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 Microsoft Windows application as the default for handling the CB file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Clean Boot 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 Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CB 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CB file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CB file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CB 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 CB file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CB 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move CB to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CB to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
