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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The FDXT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FDXT file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FDXT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected FDXT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of FDXT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 FDXT file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FDXT except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move FDXT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FDXT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
