However, remember that not every infected RWD 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 RWD file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.

This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RWD to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RWD file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
