The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GDBTABLE 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 ArcGIS Desktop

Programs to open GDBTABLE file
Remember to download programs supporting GDBTABLE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ArcGIS Desktop with GDBTABLE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GDBTABLE file still does not use the ArcGIS Desktop program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GDBTABLE file with the ArcGIS Desktop application.
Step 3. Update ArcGIS Desktop to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ArcGIS Desktop program, it is possible that ArcGIS Geodatabase requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Esri website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GDBTABLE file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to GDBTABLE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GDBTABLE file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GDBTABLE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of GDBTABLE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GDBTABLE files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Esri help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted GDBTABLE 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 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 GDBTABLE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GDBTABLE file again. 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.
