What is RDR file?
The file in the RDR format belongs to the Misc Files category. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Dynamic Report Decoder Report Format is most often found on 1 operating systems.

How to open RDR file?
The most common problem when using Dynamic Report Decoder Report Format is that a specific RDR is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that RDR 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 RDR 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 Remote Desktop Manager
The first step is to check if the computer has the Remote Desktop Manager program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Remote Desktop Manager 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 RDR files.
Programs to open RDR file
Remember to download programs supporting RDR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Remote Desktop Manager with RDR files
If, despite the installed application, the RDR file does not start in the Remote Desktop Manager application, you must create a file 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RDR file with the Remote Desktop Manager program.
Step 3. Update Remote Desktop Manager to the latest version
If, however, after binding Remote Desktop Manager with Dynamic Report Decoder Report Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Devolutions website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RDR file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the RDR file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. 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 RDR file. Sometimes virus-infected RDR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RDR files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RDR files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RDR 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the RDR file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RDR file again. However, some background programs may block the RDR file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
