Tips to open HVC file
Can't open the HVC file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open HVC files as well as a list of programs that support HVC files.
HVC file extension
The HVC file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the HVC files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the HVC file on each system platform.
What is HVC file?
The file in the HVC format belongs to the Text Files category. Additionally, the Text Files category contains 440 of other files. ASCII Format is supported by 3 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Windows Notepad. This was created by Microsoft Corporation. This file type can also be opened by 3 other programs. You can use TextEdit, gedit, NotePad++ text editor in case Windows Notepad cannot be used.
How to open HVC file?
The most common problem when using ASCII Format is that a specific HVC is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open HVC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HVC 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 Windows Notepad
In this case, you should first verify that the Windows Notepad application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Windows Notepad into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file HVC.
Programs to open HVC file
Remember to download programs supporting HVC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Windows Notepad with HVC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HVC file to open in the Windows Notepad application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. 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 HVC file with the Windows Notepad program.
Step 3. Update Windows Notepad to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Windows Notepad program with the ASCII 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 HVC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to HVC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HVC file. Sometimes virus-infected HVC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of HVC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 ability to automatically repair HVC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file HVC 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the HVC file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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 HVC to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HVC file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
