How to open MSH1XML file?

An often recurring problem with Windows Power Shell Script Format is that MSH1XML is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file MSH1XML to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MSH1XML 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 Windows PowerShell

Step 2. Create association of Windows PowerShell with MSH1XML files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MSH1XML file still does not use the Windows PowerShell program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MSH1XML file with the Windows PowerShell program.

Step 3. Update Windows PowerShell to the latest version

If, however, after binding Windows PowerShell with Windows Power Shell Script Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MSH1XML file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The MSH1XML file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MSH1XML files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MSH1XML or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MSH1XML files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MSH1XML file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MSH1XML file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MSH1XML 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the MSH1XML file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MSH1XML file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MSH1XML to close. 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.
