How to open TBS file?

The main problem with TuneUp Utilities Boot Screen is that the TBS file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open TBS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TBS 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 TuneUp Utilities

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TuneUp Utilities is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing TuneUp Utilities into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TBS with TuneUp Utilities.

Programs to open TBS file

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

Step 2. Create association of TuneUp Utilities with TBS files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TBS file still does not use the TuneUp Utilities program, it means no association. 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. 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 TuneUp Utilities application as the default for handling the TBS file.

Step 3. Update TuneUp Utilities to the latest version

If, however, after binding TuneUp Utilities with TuneUp Utilities Boot Screen there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The TBS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TBS file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 TBS file. Sometimes virus-infected TBS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TBS file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TBS file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TBS files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the TBS file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TBS file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
