How to open HTW file?
The most common problem when using Windows is that a specific HTW is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that HTW files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HTW 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 Windows
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Windows application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Windows into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HTW files.
Programs to open HTW file
Remember to download programs supporting HTW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with HTW files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HTW file to open in the Microsoft Windows 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Windows application as the default for handling the HTW file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Windows program, it is possible that Windows requires a newer version of the program.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 HTW file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The HTW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the HTW file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 HTW file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected HTW 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 HTW files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HTW 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.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file HTW 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.
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. Copying the HTW file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HTW to close. However, some background programs may block the HTW file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
