The UBR file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the UBR files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the UBR file on each system platform.
What is UBR file?
The file in the UBR format belongs to the Settings Files category. The creator of this file is Microsoft Corporation. Additionally, the Settings Files category contains 1305 of other files. IIS WCAT Configuration is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Microsoft IIS. This was created by Microsoft Corporation.
How to open UBR file?
The most common problem when using IIS WCAT Configuration is that a specific UBR is not associated with the program. This causes the file UBR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UBR 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 IIS
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft IIS application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft IIS in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open UBR files.
Programs to open UBR file
Remember to download programs supporting UBR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft IIS with UBR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the UBR file still does not use the Microsoft IIS 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the UBR file with the Microsoft IIS application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft IIS to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft IIS program with the IIS WCAT Configuration file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UBR file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the UBR file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file UBR or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected UBR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the UBR 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged UBR files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UBR 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move UBR to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the UBR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the UBR file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
