The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to F6G files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the F6G file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected F6G files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of F6G 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 option of recovering data from damaged F6G files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted F6G 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 F6G file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the F6G file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file F6G to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
