Remember to download programs supporting PRJPCB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Altium Designer with PRJPCB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PRJPCB file still does not use the Altium Designer program, it means no 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 set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PRJPCB file with the Altium Designer application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PRJPCB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The PRJPCB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PRJPCB file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PRJPCB file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PRJPCB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PRJPCB files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PRJPCB files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Altium Limited. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PRJPCB 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the PRJPCB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the PRJPCB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PRJPCB to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
