What is CUO file?

The CUO file has been categorized as Developer Files. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. CUDA Object Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use CUDA Toolkit to handle this file. This is a program created by NVIDIA Corporation.

How to open CUO file?

The main problem with CUDA Object Format is that the CUO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that CUO files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CUO 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 CUDA Toolkit

In this case, you should first verify that the CUDA Toolkit application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CUDA Toolkit in it. 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 CUO.

Programs to open CUO file

Remember to download programs supporting CUO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of CUDA Toolkit with CUO files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CUO file to open in the CUDA Toolkit 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CUO file with the CUDA Toolkit program.

Step 3. Update CUDA Toolkit to the latest version

If, despite the association of the CUDA Toolkit program with the CUDA Object Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the NVIDIA Corporation website and install the latest version.

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

The CUO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CUO file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CUO file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected CUO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CUO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 CUO files. 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.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CUO 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the CUO file to another location will fix the problem.
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 CUO file again. However, some background programs may block the CUO file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
