Programs to open MS11 file
Remember to download programs supporting MS11 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Multisim with MS11 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MS11 file to open in the Multisim application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MS11 file with the Multisim program.
Step 3. Update Multisim to the latest version

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MS11 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The MS11 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MS11 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MS11 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MS11 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MS11 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MS11 file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MS11 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 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. It is best to move MS11 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MS11 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
