How to open GENERICTEST file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft Visual Studio Generic Test is that GENERICTEST is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that GENERICTEST files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GENERICTEST 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 Microsoft Visual Studio
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Visual Studio application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Visual Studio into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support GENERICTEST files.
Programs to open GENERICTEST file
Remember to download programs supporting GENERICTEST files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Studio with GENERICTEST files
If, despite the installed application, the GENERICTEST file does not start in the Microsoft Visual Studio application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Visual Studio application as the default for handling the GENERICTEST file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Visual Studio to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Visual Studio program, it is possible that Microsoft Visual Studio Generic Test requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GENERICTEST file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GENERICTEST file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GENERICTEST file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GENERICTEST files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of GENERICTEST 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GENERICTEST file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GENERICTEST 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the GENERICTEST file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the GENERICTEST file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GENERICTEST file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
