If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The ESLOCK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ESLOCK file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ESLOCK file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ESLOCK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ESLOCK 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ESLOCK 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 ESLOCK 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the ESLOCK file to another location.
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 ESLOCK file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ESLOCK file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
