How to open LGR file?

The most common problem when using Microsoft Windows Application Log is that a specific LGR is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that LGR files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

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

In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Windows application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Windows into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file LGR with Microsoft Windows. Below is a list of programs that support the file LGR.

Programs to open LGR file

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

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with LGR files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LGR file to open in the Microsoft Windows application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LGR file with the Microsoft Windows program.

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. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LGR 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:

The LGR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to LGR 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LGR file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected LGR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LGR file. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LGR file corruption. 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 LGR files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 LGR 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LGR file again. However, some background programs may block the LGR file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
