How to open LGQ file?

An often recurring problem with Microsoft Windows Application Log is that LGQ is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file LGQ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LGQ 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

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Windows is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Windows in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file LGQ with Microsoft Windows. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open LGQ files.

Programs to open LGQ file

Remember to download programs supporting LGQ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with LGQ files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LGQ 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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 LGQ file.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Windows program, it is possible that Microsoft Windows Application Log requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LGQ 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. This suggests truncating the LGQ file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LGQ file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LGQ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of LGQ 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LGQ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file LGQ 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the LGQ file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the LGQ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LGQ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LGQ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
