The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PAGES-TEF files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PAGES-TEF 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the PAGES-TEF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PAGES-TEF file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PAGES-TEF file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
