How to open PAYMTS file?
An often recurring problem with Jigsaw Ransomware Affected Format is that PAYMTS is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file PAYMTS 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 PAYMTS 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 Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor
The first step is to check if the computer has the Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor in it.

Programs to open PAYMTS file
Remember to download programs supporting PAYMTS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor with PAYMTS files
If, despite the installed application, the PAYMTS file does not start in the Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 PAYMTS file with the Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor program.
Step 3. Update Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor program, it is possible that Jigsaw Ransomware Affected Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Michael Gillespie website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PAYMTS 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 PAYMTS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the PAYMTS file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PAYMTS or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PAYMTS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of PAYMTS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PAYMTS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PAYMTS 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the PAYMTS file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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. However, some background programs may block the PAYMTS file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
