How to open SSD file?

Programs to open SSD file

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

Step 2. Create association of WindowBlinds with SSD files

If, despite the installed application, the SSD file does not start in the WindowBlinds application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WindowBlinds application as the default for handling the SSD file.

Step 3. Update WindowBlinds to the latest version

If, however, after binding WindowBlinds with WindowBlinds Skin Format List there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Stardock Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SSD 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SSD file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SSD file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SSD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of SSD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SSD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Stardock
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SSD files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the SSD 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SSD to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SSD file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
