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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The UDW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to UDW files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the UDW file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected UDW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of UDW file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 UDW file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UDW 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the UDW file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the UDW file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file UDW to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the UDW file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
