How to open LGU file?

This causes the file LGU to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LGU 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 CE Embedded
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Windows CE Embedded application is installed on the computer.

Programs to open LGU file
Remember to download programs supporting LGU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows CE Embedded with LGU files
If, despite the installed application, the LGU file does not start in the Microsoft Windows CE Embedded application, you must create a file association. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the LGU file with the Microsoft Windows CE Embedded application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows CE Embedded to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Windows CE Embedded program, it is possible that LG Windows CE Upgrade Data Format requires a newer version of the program. 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 LGU file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The LGU file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to LGU files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LGU file. Sometimes virus-infected LGU files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of LGU 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 option of recovering data from damaged LGU files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LGU 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move LGU to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LGU file again. 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.
