What is TB3 file?

The TB3 file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by Intel Corporation. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Intel VTune Performance Monitor Sampling Data is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Intel VTune. This was created by Intel Corporation.

How to open TB3 file?

The most common problem when using Intel VTune Performance Monitor Sampling Data is that a specific TB3 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that TB3 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TB3 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 Intel VTune

The first step is to check if the computer has the Intel VTune program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Intel VTune in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TB3 with Intel VTune. Below is a list of programs that support the file TB3.

Programs to open TB3 file

Remember to download programs supporting TB3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Intel VTune with TB3 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TB3 file to open in the Intel VTune application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TB3 file with the Intel VTune program.

Step 3. Update Intel VTune to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Intel VTune program with the Intel VTune Performance Monitor Sampling Data 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 Intel Corporation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TB3 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The TB3 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to TB3 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TB3 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected TB3 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of TB3 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TB3 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Intel Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TB3 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the TB3 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TB3 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
