Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EUF file

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 EUF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to EUF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EUF file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected EUF 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 EUF 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged EUF files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EUF 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 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. Copying the EUF file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the EUF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EUF file again. 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.
