Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PVHD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected PVHD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PVHD file. 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 option of recovering data from damaged PVHD files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.

This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PVHD 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 PVHD to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PVHD file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
