It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties.

The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SHADOW or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SHADOW 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 SHADOW file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SHADOW file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Neuber Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SHADOW files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SHADOW file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SHADOW file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
