Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HVPL file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HVPL file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected HVPL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HVPL file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HVPL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Apple
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HVPL files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. If possible, you can try to move the HVPL file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the HVPL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HVPL file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
