How to open PSM1 file?
An often recurring problem with Windows PowerShell Script Module Format is that PSM1 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that PSM1 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PSM1 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 Windows PowerShell
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Windows PowerShell program installed. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Windows PowerShell 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 PSM1 with Microsoft Windows PowerShell. Below is a list of programs that support the file PSM1.
Programs to open PSM1 file
Remember to download programs supporting PSM1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows PowerShell with PSM1 files
If, despite the installed application, the PSM1 file does not start in the Microsoft Windows PowerShell 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Windows PowerShell application as the default for handling the PSM1 file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows PowerShell to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Windows PowerShell with Windows PowerShell Script Module Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PSM1 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 PSM1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PSM1 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PSM1 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PSM1 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 PSM1 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PSM1 file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PSM1 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 PSM1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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 PSM1 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
