How to open R11 file?

The most common problem when using Split Multi-volume RAR Compressed Format Archive (part 13) is that a specific R11 is not associated with the program. This causes the file R11 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the R11 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 WinRAR

In this case, you should first verify that the WinRAR application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing WinRAR into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support R11 files.

Programs to open R11 file

Remember to download programs supporting R11 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of WinRAR with R11 files

If, despite the installed application, the R11 file does not start in the WinRAR 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the R11 file with the WinRAR application.

Step 3. Update WinRAR to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the WinRAR program, it is possible that Split Multi-volume RAR Compressed Format Archive (part 13) requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the win.rar GmbH website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the R11 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The R11 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to R11 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 operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our R11 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover R11 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 R11 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular R11 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Eugene Roshal help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted R11 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the R11 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the R11 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
