The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the S7Z 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 7zX

Programs to open S7Z file

Step 2. Create association of 7zX with S7Z files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the S7Z file to open in the 7zX application, but you can set it manually. 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 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the S7Z file with the 7zX application.

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to S7Z 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our S7Z file. Sometimes virus-infected S7Z files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of S7Z file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged S7Z files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted S7Z files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move S7Z to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file S7Z to close. However, some background programs may block the S7Z file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
