Step 2. Create association of Not meant to be opened with EXE1 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EXE1 file to open in the Not meant to be opened application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program.

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 EXE1 file. However, remember that not every infected EXE1 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the EXE1 files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged EXE1 files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EXE1 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.

This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EXE1 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
