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

Remember to download programs supporting MDCCACHE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Office with MDCCACHE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MDCCACHE file still does not use the Microsoft Office program, it means no association. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 Office application as the default for handling the MDCCACHE file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Office to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Office program, it is possible that Microsoft Document Connection Cache Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the MDCCACHE file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MDCCACHE file. Sometimes virus-infected MDCCACHE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MDCCACHE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MDCCACHE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MDCCACHE 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the MDCCACHE file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 MDCCACHE file again. However, some background programs may block the MDCCACHE file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
