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

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SPDESIGNLIST file to open in the Office SharePoint Designer 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SPDESIGNLIST file with the Office SharePoint Designer program.

Step 3. Update Office SharePoint Designer to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Office SharePoint Designer program with the SharePoint Designer file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.

The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online.

Older version of SPDESIGNLIST file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SPDESIGNLIST files. 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 can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SPDESIGNLIST 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. It is best to move SPDESIGNLIST to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SPDESIGNLIST to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SPDESIGNLIST file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
