The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SDLP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SDLP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SDLP files changes over time. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SDLP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SDLP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.

This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SDLP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SDLP file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
