What is LGS file?
The LGS file has been categorized as System Files. The author of this format is Microsoft Corporation. In addition to this file, the System Files category includes 323 related files.

The Microsoft Windows application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Microsoft Corporation.
How to open LGS file?
The main problem with Microsoft Windows Application Log is that the LGS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file LGS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LGS 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. 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 LGS with Microsoft Windows. Below you will find a list of applications that support LGS files.
Programs to open LGS file
Remember to download programs supporting LGS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with LGS files
If, despite the installed application, the LGS file does not start in the Microsoft Windows application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Windows application as the default for handling the LGS file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Windows program with the Microsoft Windows Application Log file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LGS file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the LGS file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LGS file. Sometimes virus-infected LGS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LGS files changes over time. 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 option of recovering data from damaged LGS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LGS 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. If possible, you can try to move the LGS file to another location.
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 LGS 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.
