Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows 7 with DEVICEMETADATA-MS files
If, despite the installed application, the DEVICEMETADATA-MS file does not start in the Microsoft Windows 7 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DEVICEMETADATA-MS file with the Microsoft Windows 7 application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows 7 to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Windows 7 program, it is possible that Microsoft Windows 7 Device Metadata Package requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The DEVICEMETADATA-MS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DEVICEMETADATA-MS 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DEVICEMETADATA-MS file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DEVICEMETADATA-MS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DEVICEMETADATA-MS files changes over time. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DEVICEMETADATA-MS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, 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 file DEVICEMETADATA-MS 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move DEVICEMETADATA-MS to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DEVICEMETADATA-MS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DEVICEMETADATA-MS 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.
