However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DS10 file to open in the WinDS PRO application, but you can set it manually. 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 select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DS10 file with the WinDS PRO program.

The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DS10 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected DS10 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DS10 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DS10 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DS10 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the DS10 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DS10 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DS10 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
