How to open LGN file?
The main problem with Microsoft Windows Application Log is that the LGN file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that LGN files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LGN 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 Microsoft Windows
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Windows program installed. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Windows into the system search engine.

Programs to open LGN file
Remember to download programs supporting LGN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with LGN files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LGN file to open in the Microsoft Windows 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Windows application as the default for handling the LGN file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Windows Application Log there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LGN file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to LGN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. 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 LGN file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LGN files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of LGN 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LGN files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LGN 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the LGN 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LGN to close. 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.
