What is HBS file?
The HBS file has been categorized as Developer Files. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. JavaScript Handlebars.js Template Format is supported by 1 operating systems.

How to open HBS file?
The main problem with JavaScript Handlebars.js Template Format is that the HBS file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open HBS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HBS 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 Visual Studio Code
In this case, you should first verify that the Visual Studio Code application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Visual Studio Code in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HBS files.
Programs to open HBS file
Remember to download programs supporting HBS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Visual Studio Code with HBS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HBS file still does not use the Visual Studio Code program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HBS file with the Visual Studio Code program.
Step 3. Update Visual Studio Code to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Visual Studio Code program with the JavaScript Handlebars.js Template Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. 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 HBS file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the HBS file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HBS file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HBS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the HBS 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HBS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , 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 HBS 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. If possible, you can try to move the HBS file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 HBS file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
