How to open SSS file?

An often recurring problem with WindowBlinds Substyle Format is that SSS is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SSS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SSS file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install WindowBlinds

The first step is to check if the computer has the WindowBlinds program installed. This can be achieved by typing WindowBlinds into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file SSS.

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

Step 2. Create association of WindowBlinds with SSS files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SSS file still does not use the WindowBlinds program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SSS file with the WindowBlinds program.

Step 3. Update WindowBlinds to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the WindowBlinds program, it is possible that WindowBlinds Substyle Format requires a newer version of the program.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 Stardock Corporation page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SSS file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SSS file. Sometimes virus-infected SSS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SSS file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SSS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Stardock help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SSS except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move SSS 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 SSS to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SSS file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
