What is FV file?

The file in the FV format belongs to the Misc Files category. It was designed by Freshdevices.com. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files.

The main program that supports this format is Fresh View. This was created by Freshdevices.com.

How to open FV file?

The most common problem when using Fresh View Thumbnail Cache is that a specific FV is not associated with the program. This causes the file FV to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FV 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 Fresh View

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Fresh View is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Fresh View into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FV with Fresh View. Below you will find a list of applications that support FV files.

Programs to open FV file

Remember to download programs supporting FV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Fresh View with FV files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FV file to open in the Fresh View 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FV file with the Fresh View application.

Step 3. Update Fresh View to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Fresh View program, it is possible that Fresh View Thumbnail Cache requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Freshdevices.com page and install.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the FV file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FV file. However, remember that not every infected FV 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 FV files changes over time. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FV file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Freshdevices.com, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FV 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 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 FV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the FV 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FV file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
