How to open TSC file?
The main problem with Microsoft Windows WinHelp Related Format is that the TSC file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open TSC, 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 TSC 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 Microsoft Windows
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Windows is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Windows in it.

Programs to open TSC file
Remember to download programs supporting TSC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with TSC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TSC file still does not use the Microsoft Windows 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Windows application as the default for handling the TSC file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Windows WinHelp Related Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 TSC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TSC file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TSC file. Sometimes virus-infected TSC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TSC file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TSC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TSC 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. It is best to move TSC to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the TSC 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 TSC file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TSC file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
