If, however, after binding NotePad++ text editor with Unknown Format Extension Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Notepad++ Team website or update the program from the application.

The COOKIEDB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the COOKIEDB file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. 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 COOKIEDB file. Sometimes virus-infected COOKIEDB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the COOKIEDB file. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair COOKIEDB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file COOKIEDB 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the COOKIEDB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the COOKIEDB file again. However, some background programs may block the COOKIEDB file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
