Step 2. Create association of Minesweeper with MINESWEEPERSAVE-MS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MINESWEEPERSAVE-MS file still does not use the Minesweeper program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Minesweeper application as the default for handling the MINESWEEPERSAVE-MS file.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MINESWEEPERSAVE-MS file

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to MINESWEEPERSAVE-MS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MINESWEEPERSAVE-MS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MINESWEEPERSAVE-MS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MINESWEEPERSAVE-MS file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MINESWEEPERSAVE-MS files.

This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MINESWEEPERSAVE-MS file is blocked by the first application to open it. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
