Step 2. Create association of NotePad++ text editor with INTERFACE files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the INTERFACE file still does not use the NotePad++ text editor program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the INTERFACE file with the NotePad++ text editor application.

Step 3. Update NotePad++ text editor to the latest version

If, however, after binding NotePad++ text editor with Notepad++ Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Notepad++ Team website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the INTERFACE 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 INTERFACE 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file INTERFACE or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected INTERFACE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of INTERFACE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair INTERFACE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file INTERFACE 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the INTERFACE file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the INTERFACE file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
