How to open PROVXML file?

The main problem with Microsoft Windows Mobile Settings is that the PROVXML file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that PROVXML files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PROVXML 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 Windows Mobile

In this case, you should first verify that the Windows Mobile application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Windows Mobile in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PROVXML files.

Programs to open PROVXML file

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

Step 2. Create association of Windows Mobile with PROVXML files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PROVXML file still does not use the Windows Mobile program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PROVXML file with the Windows Mobile program.

Step 3. Update Windows Mobile to the latest version

If, however, after binding Windows Mobile with Microsoft Windows Mobile Settings there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PROVXML 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the PROVXML file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PROVXML file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected PROVXML file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of PROVXML 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PROVXML files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PROVXML files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. It is best to move PROVXML to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PROVXML file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
