Remember to download programs supporting SPDESIGNASAX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Office SharePoint Designer with SPDESIGNASAX files

If, despite the installed application, the SPDESIGNASAX file does not start in the Office SharePoint Designer application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed.

Step 3. Update Office SharePoint Designer to the latest version

If, however, after binding Office SharePoint Designer with SharePoint Designer there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SPDESIGNASAX file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the SPDESIGNASAX file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SPDESIGNASAX or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SPDESIGNASAX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SPDESIGNASAX 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SPDESIGNASAX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SPDESIGNASAX 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move SPDESIGNASAX to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SPDESIGNASAX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SPDESIGNASAX file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
