The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FN3 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected FN3 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 FN3 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FN3 files.

Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the FN3 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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.
