The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PPCX or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PPCX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of PPCX 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.
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 PPCX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems help.

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. If possible, you can try to move the PPCX file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the PPCX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PPCX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PPCX file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
