Remember to download programs supporting SPDESIGNXSL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Office SharePoint Designer with SPDESIGNXSL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SPDESIGNXSL file to open in the Office SharePoint Designer application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SPDESIGNXSL file with the Office SharePoint Designer application.
Step 3. Update Office SharePoint Designer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Office SharePoint Designer program, it is possible that SharePoint Designer Format requires a newer version of the program. 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.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SPDESIGNXSL file

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SPDESIGNXSL file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SPDESIGNXSL file. Sometimes virus-infected SPDESIGNXSL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SPDESIGNXSL files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SPDESIGNXSL files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact

The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SPDESIGNXSL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SPDESIGNXSL 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 SPDESIGNXSL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SPDESIGNXSL file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
