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 GEANY or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected GEANY files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GEANY file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GEANY file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted GEANY files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. If possible, you can try to move the GEANY file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GEANY to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GEANY file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
