How to open LGZ file?
An often recurring problem with Windows Application Log is that LGZ is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file LGZ 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 LGZ 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. 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 LGZ with Microsoft Windows. Below is a list of programs that support the file LGZ.
Programs to open LGZ file
Remember to download programs supporting LGZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with LGZ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LGZ file to open in the Microsoft Windows application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Windows application as the default for handling the LGZ file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Windows program with the 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 LGZ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to LGZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LGZ or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected LGZ 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 LGZ files changes over time. 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 LGZ files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LGZ 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the LGZ 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LGZ file again. However, some background programs may block the LGZ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
