The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The S2Z file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the S2Z file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the S2Z file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected S2Z 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 S2Z file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged S2Z files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted S2Z files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the S2Z file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the S2Z file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the S2Z file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
