How to open HCB file?
The main problem with HyperOS Compressed Backup is that the HCB file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open HCB, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HCB 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 HyperOS
The first step is to check if the computer has the HyperOS program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name HyperOS in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file HCB with HyperOS. Below you will find a list of applications that support HCB files.
Programs to open HCB file
Remember to download programs supporting HCB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of HyperOS with HCB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HCB file to open in the HyperOS 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 HyperOS application as the default for handling the HCB file.
Step 3. Update HyperOS to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the HyperOS program, it is possible that HyperOS Compressed Backup requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the HyperOs Systems website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HCB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the HCB 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HCB file. However, remember that not every infected HCB 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 HCB 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HCB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting HyperOs Systems, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted HCB 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the HCB file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HCB to close. However, some background programs may block the HCB file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
