What is SDY file?

How to open SDY file?
The main problem with StarMoney is that the SDY file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SDY to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SDY 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 StarMoney
In this case, you should first verify that the StarMoney application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name StarMoney into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support SDY files.
Programs to open SDY file
Remember to download programs supporting SDY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of StarMoney with SDY files
If, despite the installed application, the SDY file does not start in the StarMoney 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 SDY file with the StarMoney program.
Step 3. Update StarMoney to the latest version
If, despite the association of the StarMoney program with the StarMoney file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Star Finanz GmbH website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SDY 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 SDY file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SDY 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 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SDY file. However, remember that not every infected SDY 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 SDY 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SDY files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Star Finanz GmbH, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SDY 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SDY file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SDY file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SDY file again. However, some background programs may block the SDY file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
