How to open MDOC file?

An often recurring problem with Visual Studio Code Data Format is that MDOC is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that MDOC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MDOC 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 Visual Studio Code

The first step is to check if the computer has the Visual Studio Code program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Visual Studio Code in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support MDOC files.

Programs to open MDOC file

Remember to download programs supporting MDOC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Visual Studio Code with MDOC files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MDOC file still does not use the Visual Studio Code program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MDOC file with the Visual Studio Code program.

Step 3. Update Visual Studio Code to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Visual Studio Code program, it is possible that Visual Studio Code Data Format requires a newer version of the program.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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MDOC file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MDOC file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MDOC file. Sometimes virus-infected MDOC 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 MDOC files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MDOC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MDOC 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move MDOC to a different directory.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
