What is P22 file?
The file with the extension P22 is the Compressed Files file type. Additionally, the Compressed Files category contains 236 of other files.

How to open P22 file?
The most common problem when using PAR Recovery Volume Format is that a specific P22 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open P22, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the P22 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 QuickPar
The first step is to check if the computer has the QuickPar program installed. This can be achieved by typing QuickPar into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file P22.
Programs to open P22 file
Remember to download programs supporting P22 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuickPar with P22 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the P22 file to open in the QuickPar application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the P22 file with the QuickPar program.
Step 3. Update QuickPar to the latest version
If, however, after binding QuickPar with PAR Recovery Volume Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Peter B. Clements page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the P22 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The P22 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the P22 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file P22 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected P22 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the P22 file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair P22 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file P22 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move P22 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 this does not work either, restart the device.
