The JIGZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to JIGZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file JIGZ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected JIGZ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of JIGZ 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged JIGZ files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JIGZ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the JIGZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the JIGZ file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JIGZ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
