Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JUDE file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The JUDE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the JUDE file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file JUDE or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected JUDE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of JUDE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair JUDE file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JUDE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the JUDE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with 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 you have to wait for the session to the file JUDE to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JUDE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
