How to open HEU file?
An often recurring problem with Adobe Flash Player Cache Metadata is that HEU is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that HEU files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HEU 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 Adobe Flash Player
The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe Flash Player program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Adobe Flash Player in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file HEU.
Programs to open HEU file
Remember to download programs supporting HEU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Flash Player with HEU files
If, despite the installed application, the HEU file does not start in the Adobe Flash Player 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 HEU file with the Adobe Flash Player application.
Step 3. Update Adobe Flash Player to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe Flash Player program, it is possible that Adobe Flash Player Cache Metadata requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HEU file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the HEU file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HEU file. However, remember that not every infected HEU file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of HEU 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HEU files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Adobe Systems Incorporated, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted HEU files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the HEU file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the HEU file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
