What is DPC file?

The DPC file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by Microsoft Corporation. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Microsoft Office Resource is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Microsoft Office. This was created by Microsoft Corporation.

How to open DPC file?

An often recurring problem with Microsoft Office Resource is that DPC is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that DPC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DPC 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 Office

In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Office application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Office in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support DPC files.

Programs to open DPC file

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

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Office with DPC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DPC file to open in the Microsoft Office 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DPC file with the Microsoft Office application.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Office to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Office program, it is possible that Microsoft Office Resource requires a newer version of the program. 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 DPC file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DPC file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DPC file. However, remember that not every infected DPC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DPC file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DPC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DPC 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the DPC file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DPC to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DPC file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
