How to open HHR file?

The main problem with HHsearch Results Format is that the HHR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that HHR 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 HHR 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 HH-suite

The first step is to check if the computer has the HH-suite program installed. To do this, enter the name HH-suite into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file HHR with HH-suite. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HHR files.

Programs to open HHR file

Remember to download programs supporting HHR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of HH-suite with HHR files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HHR file still does not use the HH-suite program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the HH-suite application as the default for handling the HHR file.

Step 3. Update HH-suite to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the HH-suite program, it is possible that HHsearch Results Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HHR file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The HHR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to HHR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HHR file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected HHR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of HHR 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HHR file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file HHR 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. It is best to move HHR to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 HHR file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
