How to open EVY file?
The main problem with Envoy Format is that the EVY file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file EVY to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EVY 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 Envoy Viewer
In this case, you should first verify that the Envoy Viewer application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Envoy Viewer 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 EVY files.
Programs to open EVY file
Remember to download programs supporting EVY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Envoy Viewer with EVY files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EVY file to open in the Envoy Viewer 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. 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 EVY file with the Envoy Viewer application.
Step 3. Update Envoy Viewer to the latest version
If, however, after binding Envoy Viewer with Envoy Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EVY 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the EVY file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EVY file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EVY 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 EVY file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EVY file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EVY 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the EVY file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EVY file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
