The LSXTPROJ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LSXTPROJ file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LSXTPROJ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected LSXTPROJ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.

When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LSXTPROJ 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. If possible, you can try to move the LSXTPROJ file to another location.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LSXTPROJ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
