How to open PPTV file?

An often recurring problem with Microsoft PowerPoint is that PPTV is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that PPTV files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PPTV 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 Microsoft PowerPoint

In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft PowerPoint application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft PowerPoint into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PPTV with Microsoft PowerPoint. Below you will find a list of applications that support PPTV files.

Programs to open PPTV file

Remember to download programs supporting PPTV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft PowerPoint with PPTV files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PPTV file to open in the Microsoft PowerPoint application, but you can set it manually. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft PowerPoint application as the default for handling the PPTV file.

Step 3. Update Microsoft PowerPoint to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Microsoft PowerPoint program with the Microsoft PowerPoint file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The PPTV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PPTV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PPTV file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PPTV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PPTV files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 PPTV file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PPTV 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move PPTV to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PPTV file again. 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.
