The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to TWT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TWT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected TWT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TWT files changes over time. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TWT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A

The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the TWT file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TWT to close. However, some background programs may block the TWT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
